How to Prep for NFL Tailgating in a New Chevrolet

Football season is back, and that means it's time for big plays, good food, great friends, and plenty of tailgating. Whether you're heading to an NFL game or hosting a game-day gathering, the right Chevrolet can make hauling your tailgate gear a whole lot easier. Here's how to get your Chevy ready for game day. 1. Pick the Right Chevrolet for Your Tailgate Your tailgate setup can help determine which vehicle makes the most sense. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a natural choice when you're hauling coolers, folding tables, chairs, grills, games, and other larger items. With a truck bed, you can keep bulky gear out of the passenger cabin. Explore Chevrolet Silverado 1500 inventory Bringing the whole crew? The Chevrolet Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban offer passenger and cargo space for families and groups heading to the game. Explore Chevrolet SUVs at McCarthy Chevrolet Olathe 2. Pack the Tailgate Essentials Nothing kills the game-day mood like realizing you forgot the chairs. Before you leave, make sure you've packed: Cooler and ice Food and cooking supplies Folding chairs Table Plates, cups, and utensils Trash bags Team gear Portable speaker Phone chargers Sunscreen And, of course, your tickets. 3. Use Your Chevy's Space Wisely A little organization can go a long way. Use available cargo compartments and storage areas for smaller items, while keeping larger gear together so it's easy to unload once you arrive. With a Silverado, use the truck bed for bulky tailgate equipment. With a larger SUV, take advantage of available cargo space and flexible seating configurations. 4. Bring the Whole Crew Tailgating is better with friends. The Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban give you options when you need room for passengers, coolers, backpacks, chairs, and all the gear that somehow comes along for a football game. The goal: less vehicle Tetris and more time enjoying the tailgate. 5. Get Your Chevrolet Ready Before a long game-day drive, take a few minutes to check your tires, fluids, battery, brakes, lights, and windshield wipers. Taking care of routine maintenance before the season gets busy can help you spend less time worrying about your vehicle and more time worrying about your fantasy lineup. Schedule service at McCarthy Chevrolet Olathe 6. Have a Game Plan for the Drive Home The tailgate may end when kickoff arrives, but your game day isn't over yet. Secure your cargo, clean up your space, make sure everyone has their belongings, and plan a safe ride home. If you've been drinking, use a designated driver or another safe transportation option. Find Your Game-Day Chevrolet in Olathe Whether you're loading a Silverado with tailgate gear or bringing your entire crew in a Traverse, Tahoe, or Suburban, Chevrolet has options for football season and beyond. Browse New Chevrolet Inventory at McCarthy Chevrolet Olathe Explore Chevrolet Trucks Explore Chevrolet SUVs Visit McCarthy Chevrolet Olathe at 675 N.
