Football Friday night in America is a time honored tradition! You don’t have to be rushed to get from work to the game plus get your family fed!
My three super easy tailgating tips will get you into the team spirit and get your family fed without cutting a chunk out of your busy schedule.
Tip #1
Keep a reusable bag filled with these easy Tailgating supplies in the trunk throughout the football season. (Tutorials follow for our super Easy DIY Team Spirit supplies)
- No Sew Swag Banner in your team colors
- Paper plates for easy clean up
- Penalty Flag napkins
- Football Field Tablecloth
Tip #2
That’s all you need in the party bag! No need to pack food or tailgate cooking supplies! Sam’s Club has their fabulous Family Pizza Combo for only $13.98! You can swing by and pick up a combo on the way to the game! No need to order the items separately they all come together!
The Family Pizza Combo from Sam’s Club includes your choice of toppings on a 16″ pizza AND Cheesy breadsticks AND Chocolate Chunk Cookies AND a 2 Liter Coca Cola! Did I mention you’ll get all of this for only $13.98! You absolutely cannot beat that deal for a quick and easy tailgating party!
No cooking, no waiting on a grill to cool, no mess to clean up, easy transition from work to the game. Work smarter, not harder, right!!
Just head over to the Sam’s Club Café for your Family Pizza Combo! $13.98 is a extremely budget friendly meal for the whole family!
Tip #3
Create team spirit ambience with these super easy Tailgate Party Supply tutorials!
Penalty Flag Napkins Tutorial
Supplies:
- Suckers ( I used the one’s with bubble gum in the middle)
- Rubber bands
- Bright yellow napkins
Directions:
- Tape down the top part of the wrapper so it won’t poke out
- Lay the sucker in the middle of the unfolded napkin
- Pull the napkin up around the sucker
- Wrap a yellow rubber band around the sucker stem to hold the napkin in place
Football Field Reusable Tailgating Tablecloth
Supplies:
- One bright green tarp
- White Duck tape
Directions
- Unfold the tarp just enough so that it fits perfectly in the back of your vehicle. There is no need to completely unfold and refold unless your vehicle trunk is very large.
- Turn the tarp over and tape down the loose edges of the ‘bottom.’
- Place the white Duck tape at even intervals across the top surface of the tablecloth.
We drive a small car so our tablecloth is small. We made it in less than 15 minutes! The fact that it is a tarp means you can wipe up spills if they occur. You could also remove the tape from the back and reuse the tarp for another purpose after football season is over!

Your Football Friday nights will be so much easier with my 3 tips!
- Make your easy DIY team spirit tailgate party supplies.
- Pack your reusable bag with your new team spirit party supplies.
- Stop by Sam’s Club and pick up a Family Pizza Combo on the way to the game for only $13.98!
All set for the big game!

We tailgate a lot & this would be perfect for our next game. The Sam’s meal deal is a very affordable price….much cheaper than my carry-out place. I love the DIY tarp and the penalty flag lollipops….my kiddos would love these! Great post! Thank you for linking up to our Small Victories Sunday Linkup!

I may not be the biggest football fan, but I do love to tailgate! Great ideas!
Shirley Wood says
Thank you Roxanne. I love football all the way around. Now that we have a grandson in high school, we get to go to Football Friday nights! Sometimes that transition from work to the stadium can be hectic so that Family Pizza Combo helps!
We watch as many NFL games as possible also. College football is huge here in the south too! It’s those college games where the best tailgating happens!

We are big football fans around here and I’m crazy about all your tailgating tips! Love those penalty flag napkins. Everything looks great!

Thank you Alli. Aren’t those Penalty Flags too easy! We are so glad that it’s FINALLY football season again!
Those live games at the high school stadium are the most exciting!
