​Football season is upon us, which means it's also tailgating season. As with most things in life, there's a right way and wrong way to do it. here are some tips to help you make the best out of your tailgating experience.
• Charge your phone and bring a charger. Portable chargers are handy to have, and many of them are reasonably priced. Also, bring speakers if you want to listen to music.

• You're in Mississippi, so if it's hot, have lots of drinking water on hand, and remember that sweat can ruin body paint.

• Do a head count before you tailgate. You don't want to bring too little or too much, especially when it comes to food (although having enough to share doesn't hurt). You also probably want to know how much soda, water or other drinks to get, and how many chairs you'll need.

• Bring more ice than you think you'll ever need.

• This is obvious, but make a plan for the food well beforehand. If you're going to order catering, check with the business on when they need the order. As a courtesy to your fellow tailgaters, make sure to check with them on menu preferences.

•Check the college's tailgating rules beforehand because they can differ between schools. Also, check the rules on alcohol and plan accordingly.

• Make sure you eat breakfast. You'll be out there for a few hours.

• Figure out where the bathrooms are when you get to your tailgating spot and orient yourself to the campus.

• Make sure you get there early enough to claim your spot. Some colleges and universities may let you set up the night before, so check with the school.

• Clean as you go. This way, you won't be picking up a bunch of stuff at the end of the game or when you decide to leave. Bring a trash can and/or trash bags.

• If you aren't planning on actually attending the game, figure out what radio station will be on or where the game is streaming.
