I think this year we are adding a tailgater and TV. We're trying to find a different flag pole.. last years wouldn't work too well with high winds.
Those with tv's, what is a good set up with them? Usually we set up in B-4 and try to get a on the West side of the lot by the road.
What flag pole did you use last year? We are looking to get one and don't want to make a mistake and get the wrong one.
I've got my eyes on getting this heater for the cold weather tailgates:

"
Flagpole-To-Go Ultimate Tailgaters Package with 17' Portable Flagpole"
Not sure if its this particular one, but one like it. For some reason I can't get the link to attach from Amazon.
We also put two pretty heavy flag on it, too which didn't help. If you have a light weight ISU flag and plan to only put one on there, it could work.

Can you ever have enough stuff? Strangely this is the first year where we feel like we have “everything.” Two best additions over the past few years...tailgater Dish antenna and what we felt was a great alternative to a Honda generator...the Briggs and Stratton P2200 (https://www.briggsandstratton.com/n...table-generators/p2200-powersmart-series.html).
I got a goal zero 1400 battery generator, new 24 inch tv (starting small) and an electric cooler. Adding that to the coleman tailgate grill and tent that I got for xmas last December and I've seriously upgraded from the folding table and chairs I had been rocking. I'm ready for the first run!
Still deciding if I should do anything other than over the air for TV stations. I have direcTV at home already so thats an option. Anyone have any advice on a satellite setup that doesn't break the bank if you use your home receiver?
Winegard makes portable satellite dishes that automatically find the signal (it seems like it takes forever for us to find it manually), but only SD for DirecTV. We may switch to Dish because the same portable satellite dish can be used for HD with them.
I have this exact flagpole that my association won’t allow me to install. I even have the sleeve for the ground. If you are interested in buying it PM me.We are hoping to add a telescoping flag pole like this:

Anyone looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker by chance for their tailgate? I won one at a work deal, don't need it and would sell cheaper than at store.
It's a bose soundlink revolve plus.
