One of the most popular pastimes for many individuals in the Overland Park area is to go tailgating. Tailgating is a fun experience that doesn’t have to be all about football. In fact, you’ll find that many tailgaters like to tailgate for the experience, food, and people. You don’t have to be a seasoned tailgater to enjoy tailgating in Kansas City.

Whether you’ve done plenty of tailgating in Kansas City or you’re just beginning your tailgating experience, we’re going to provide you with plenty of tailgating advice so that you’re prepared for the season. Today, Bud Brown Volkswagen will touch on the following:

  • Best SUVs for tailgating

Everything You Need for Tailgating

A vital part of tailgating is your vehicle. You want a ride that can fit all of your tailgating items and friends without issues. Fortunately, we have a large selection of the best SUVs for tailgating at Bud Brown Volkswagen. The new Volkswagen Tiguan is perfect if you plan on taking things to the fullest and bringing along plenty of family, friends, and gear.

On the other hand, the new Volkswagen Taos is also a fantastic choice since it offers more than enough versatility to prepare you for the tailgating season. Before leaving your home in Lenexa to go tailgating, here’s what we suggest you bring:

  • SUV Tailgate Tent: Whether you’re tailgating with a Volkswagen Tiguan or Taos, an SUV tailgate tent will take your tailgating experience to the next level. It’ll provide additional coverage so that you can enjoy tailgating even if the weather isn’t cooperating.
  • Portable Grill: What’s tailgating without food? With a portable grill, you’ll have no problem grilling up some food before the big game.
  • Folding Table: A folding table will allow you to easily have a place to put your food and drinks when you’re tailgating in Kansas City.
  • Cooler: Speaking of drinks, there’s nothing quite like a cold and refreshing beverage to accompany your tailgate food. You’ll want a cooler to ensure that your drinks stay cool at your tailgate.

Whether you decide to bring an SUV tailgate tent or a portable grill, you can count on a new Volkswagen Tiguan or Taos SUV to provide you with the versatility for a superior tailgating experience.

Arrowhead Tailgating Tips

Are you in the Shawnee area and you’re getting ready to tailgate at the Arrowhead Stadium? There are some things you should know before you start your tailgating experience. Let’s take a look at some Arrowhead tailgating tips:

  • Tailgating gates open around three and a half hours before kickoff, so make sure you plan ahead.
  • Food is a highlight of tailgating at Arrowhead. But what really sets Arrowhead tailgating apart from other tailgates is the barbecue. You’ll find that plenty of Arrowhead tailgaters are proud of their barbecue rubs and sauces.
  • Enjoy good chili? Visit the chili contest that happens once a year at the west end of the stadium. You’ll get to enjoy a variety of chilis from different competitors, so come hungry.
  • The most important Arrowhead tailgating tip is to not be intimidated. Everyone that tailgates at Arrowhead is welcoming and friendly so don’t be afraid to say hi to a fellow tailgater, even if it’s your first time.
