Best Setups for Local Stadium Parking Lots
Game day in Kansas City isn’t complete without a great tailgate! Whether you’re cheering for the Chiefs or enjoying a weekend sporting event, having the right setup makes all the difference. At McCarthy Chevy Olathe, we know trucks and SUVs aren’t just for driving — they’re the ultimate tailgate companion.
🛻 Choose the Right Vehicle
A truck or SUV with 4WD and ample cargo space is perfect for hauling coolers, chairs, grills, and all your tailgating gear. Popular choices include:
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500 – Huge bed space and onboard power options
- Chevrolet Colorado Z71 – Midsize pickup that’s easy to maneuver and still hauls your essentials
- Chevrolet Tahoe or Suburban – Room for family, friends, and every tailgate accessory
These vehicles make setup easy and keep you organized in crowded stadium lots.
⚡ Use Your Truck’s Onboard Power
Did you know many Chevy trucks come with built-in power outlets that can run appliances safely? Here’s how to make the most of it:
- Slow Cooker Magic: Plug in your slow cooker to cook chili, pulled pork, or soup while you tailgate. Just prep ingredients at home and let the onboard power do the rest.
- Charge Electronics: Keep phones, speakers, and tablets charged to stream pre-game music or highlight reels.
- Portable Lighting: Use outlets for LED tailgate lights or small fans on warm days.
No generator? No problem — your Chevy’s power system has you covered.
🍔 Tailgate Essentials
- Portable chairs & tables – Make your setup comfortable
- Coolers & ice packs – Keep drinks and snacks chilled
- Grill or smoker – Or let the slow cooker handle dinner
- Bluetooth speakers – Bring the music
- Trash bags & cleanup kit – Keep the lot tidy
With a truck or SUV, you can transport everything without multiple trips.
