College football bowl season is about to kick off, do you have your tailgating plans lined up? Inside Tailgating is here to help! In our recently published holiday issue (access the entire magazine for free here) we compiled a list of some of the top tailgating services, whether it’s apps to help you hook up with other tailgaters or concierge services that handle the hassles of hosting a tailgate for you.

Read on for information about eight of the best tailgating service companies out there.

Football fans already have enough to do this time of year. Between holiday shopping, planning, cooking, hosting and/or traveling, there’s not much time left to plan for a tailgate party for an upcoming bowl game. Not to worry.

A plethora of tailgating services are available to fans across the country, whether it’s one of the premium concierge services that has an existing relationship with a school or team or a user-friendly app that connects individual fans to each other.

We are your resource for finding tailgates to attend, or easy ways to organize and elevate your own. We’ve included eight of the best services available for fans who want to tailgate for college football and the NFL along with information on specific upcoming bowl events where applicable.

Web-based services:

Tailgate Connect: This service is for fans who want the experience of tailgating but without the hassle or cost of hosting. Tailgate Connect says it’s like Airbnb, Uber and Match.com rolled into one, connecting fans to tailgate hosts for a ticket as low as $40-$50. Tailgate Connect has a team of hosts ready to entertain during bowl season. Check with www.TailgateConnect.com for details.

Tailgreeter: This is an online marketplace where tailgaters can find hosts throughout the country. And they have until 24 hours before the tailgate to sign up. It’s an easy way to just show up and join the fun, without the hassle of traveling with grills and gear. Fans can also sign up to host and share in the financial benefit. Hosts determine the cost, which can range from free to $100 per person. For more information, go to www.tailgreeter.com.
