College football season is finally here again, and that means it’s time for LSU fans to spend their Saturdays with 100,000 or so of their closest friends as they make Death Valley rock while watching the Tigers roll. But gamedays start well before kickoff, because in these parts winning the tailgate is almost as important as winning the game, and that takes preparation.

Longtime Tiger tailgaters certainly have their traditions and favorite items, but if you’re just starting out or looking for ways to update your gear, Alumni Hall has some suggestions for items to take your LSU tailgate to the next level.

Cornhole Board & Bags Set ($200)

The big game comes later, but that doesn’t mean the competition is all inside the stadium. Cornhole lets tailgaters of all ages and all levels of gameday spiritedness show who’s the boss of the toss. Alumni Hall offers LSU-licensed regulation-size rosewood cornhole boards to keep everyone entertained. They’re easy to transport with fold-up legs.

Purple-and-gold ORCA cooler ($280)

ORCA’s 26-quart cooler features premium insulation that’s sure to keep your food and drinks colder longer — up to 10 days, ORCA says. It has padded handles for comfort and ease. Made in the U.S.A.

LSU Bluetooth speaker ($59.99)

Whether you’re grooving on Taylor Swift or “Tiger Rag” at the tailgate, this wireless speaker offers quality sound and easy-to-use connectability. Just sync it up with your Bluetooth-ready music player and blast the tunes, Tiger-style!

LSU Tigers magnetic football bottle opener ($14.99)

Glass containers are strongly discouraged at LSU tailgates, but in case someone brings bottled beverages, you’ll want to have an opener handy. This mini-replica team football fits the bill. Since it’s a magnet, you can gently put it on a metal part of your car or truck, making it convenient and harder to lose.

LSU insulated casserole caddy ($30)

You probably won’t be cooking all the gameday goodies you want at your tailgate site, so this insulated food caddy offers a handy way to transport and serve the best of what you cook at home and bring to the tent. It accommodates most standard-size casserole dishes.

The team at Alumni Hall in Perkins Rowe can help you with all of your game-day gear, from the freshest looks to the coolest tailgate.
