Texas Longhorn Fan Tailgates In Style

Texas Longhorn Tailgate VanCreative Mobile Interiors (CMI), a custom conversion company in Grove City, Ohio, recently delivered a high end custom Sprinter restaurant chain owner complete with all the fixins’. The Sprinter van was built to lock horns at University of Texas tailgate parties and for extensive travel with friends and family. Starting out on a 2008 170” extended cargo cab chassis, CMI added such tailgate essentials as a refrigerator and microwave; bathroom, and of course, an extensive audio/visual system.

The audio/visual package includes a Pioneer multimedia system and two 26” LCD TV monitors. One of the monitors flips up and down from the ceiling using motorized power lifts. The other monitor is mounted to the wall towards the back of the Sprinter on the driver’s side. This allows for TV viewing from any place in the Sprinter’s main cabin area. CMI removed the factory stereo and replaced it with the Pioneer system which consists of a CD/MP3/DVD/GPS and back-up camera. Other built-in amenities include a KVH In-Motion satellite dish, wireless internet, gaming jacks, and wireless headsets.

The HeelRaiser Tailgating Hearse

The Heelraiser Tailgating HearseThe original seed for this hearse tailgate vehicle was originally planted at a North Carolina / Clemson football game in the fall of 2003. John L. Snipes and a friend had traveled from Atlanta to Death Valley to watch John’s Tar Heels stomp his friend’s Tigers, which was a rare occurrence in those days. Walking through the tailgating area outside the stadium, they saw a white hearse with an orange roof. On the hood was a giant, orange tiger paw, and written on both sides was PAW BEARER!

It only took till February of 2004, in Cabbagetown, an old mill village near Downtown Atlanta, where he saw a 1974 Cadillac Hearse parked behind a bar/restaurant called “97 Estoria.” It had a “For Sale” sign with a phone number listed, which he immediately called. Within a couple of days, and a $1000 later, the hearse was his with a Bill of Sale written on a cocktail napkin.

Hooters Tailgate Truck Takes It Over The Top

The Hooters Tailgate Truck is an example of what a limitless budget and a few hot waitresses with outdated uniforms will get you. Not bad. Of course, if you do win this truck, you have to factor in the cost of security to watch it during the game. If you need a suggestion on who to hire, I recommend this guy

The "Big G" Is Truly A Tailgating Legend

The For the last 15 years, Stephen Gay has been showing his love for the Green Bay Packers by sporting his converted 1966 Dodge Camper.

This famous tailgate machine has even starred in a Campbell's Soup commercial and an NFL Films presentation. Its allocates are incredibly hard to beat considering the fact that the "Big G" has been featured in numerous news and web publishings throughout the country.

The Dawg: Another Tailgater in Cleveland's Arsenal

These Cleveland Browns fans look like they skinned a few "Tickle Me Elmos" to cover up this bad boy. Don't adjust your speakers, YouTube striped out the music because they believed it to be in violation (yeah, I guess they do that now).

It's Game Time for this Ravens Bus

Baltimore Ravens Tailgate BusWhat started off as a group of six tailgaters has ballooned into weekly crowds of 40 to 60 loyal Raven fans. Bill Crochunis (Founding Father) and his sons Nate and Mike, were among the core group that started this whole thing back when the NFL finally returned to Baltimore. Many in the group attribute the success of their tailgate swarm to a bus they purchased way back in October of 2001.
