when it comes to tailgating like a pro, what would Panthers legend Luke Kuechly do? He certainly wouldn't sip lukewarm beverages. Fortunately, the Carolina Panthers Team Store on Mint Street sells koozies and spacious coolers, so you can show your black and blue pride while keeping everything delightfully icy. Of course, nothing pairs better with a chilly brew than a cozy chair and good company. Pick up a set of Panthers- logoed foldout chairs—handy drink holders included—at BJ's Wholesale Club. With the sun setting earlier and earlier and temperatures dropping from day to night, be sure to drape a few warm blankets over your chairs to defray the evening chill. For a fancy touch, snag a herringbone woven throw in Panthers blue from B.D. Jeffries or grab a fleece Panthers-logoed coverlet from the Team Store. e one risk you run in creating the ultimate tailgate? You may never want to leave it. If you're too relaxed and content to move or don't have a ticket to the game, bring the action right to your crew. High-definition flat screen TVs are a must for catching every moment of the battle for eventual Super Bowl glory, which can be streamed via portable satellite TV antennas available at stores like Walmart and Target. Have a famous recipe for your own burgers and bratwursts? Grill your own grub by renting a smoker or purchasing a more compact, portable option. Mac's Speed Shop is a great option for renting a mobile smoking unit. ey're equipped to handle smoking whole hogs, and some even include kegerators and high-definition TVs.
