Okay, team. Baseball is heading into the postseason and football season has just begun. Tailgating season is here, so it’s time to get your pre-game face on and give it 110%. Because if you want to win at tailgating, you’d better bring your “A” game. You know it, I know it, and the family in the SUV next to you dang sure knows it. This isn’t just about food and beverages, it’s about pride. Pride in your team, in your culinary skills, and in your ability to gameplan a tailgate that dominates. So, are you ready to get ready? All right, on three: 1-2-3, TAILGATE!

Baseball? Football? We’ll tailgate whenever, wherever.

Here in Charlottesville, we’re never short on sports. In addition to high school and college action, we’re also lucky enough to have the Charlottesville Tom Sox, the 2017 Valley Baseball League champions. Crutchfield hosted an Employee Night at a late-season game, so we took our tailgating gear along and had a great time. If there’s a minor league team or small college in your area, head out to the park and check out a game. It’s an inexpensive way to have a whole lot of fun.

And if you want any helping picking out gear for YOUR tailgating setup, contact our adivors via phone, chat, or email. They'll be glad to help you get your parking-lot game on.
