For some, hosting the Super Bowl is the event of the year. It combines some of the reasons people love the holidays — it brings friends/family together, everyone gorges on food and drink, and there’s a central attraction for everyone to engage with.
It’s a rare event — in that it focuses on a football game, but non-football fans can still participate and have fun while the big game is on the TV. Here are suggestions for what to have on hand for your big Bowl bash.

In this article: Yeti Tundra 35 Cooler, JOYIN 74 PCS Football Game Day Party Supplies and Crock-Pot Cook and Carry 6-Quart Manual Slow Cooker
If limited fridge space is an intractable problem, then invest in a cooler that can be left on the back porch or in the living room. We love the Yeti Tundra 35 Cooler because it’s huge and will be an investment you’ll be happy you made when it’s time to tailgate at the next concert or baseball game (or even on a car-camping trip).
If you’d prefer to not spend that much on a cooler, there are more budget-friendly options. Just do your best to avoid the foam one-use coolers at all costs. They’re bad for the environment and aren’t even that effective. Instead, go with something more economical that will still have long-term value.
Coleman Portable Camping Chair
Besides providing extra seating in front of your big-screen TV, this portable chair is great to take along to kids' sporting events, pre-game or concert tailgates and, of course, camping trips. It includes side pockets and a cup holder.
Messes happen., especially when fans get super excited. Tide To Go Pens safely remove stains from your guest's favorite jerseys and can fit right in their pockets for future use. Have a bunch on hand.
