Home Run Koozie

Created by Roy Henning and David Bauman, the Home Run Koozie Kit is a great product, even more so during the colder tailgating months.

The Home Run Koozie Kit started as an idea in the basement with supplies gotten at Menards, and after numerous prototypes, a production version was finalized.

The current theme of the koozies are baseball themed, though football should be coming in the future.

The velcro on the koozie is even strong enough to hold its weight if you were to apply velcro to a tailgating vehicle, wall, etc.  I've tested this out with great success, as you can see in the photo gallery below.

Roy is open to doing custom orders if the need arises.  You can find out more about the Home Run Koozie by emailing Roy or visiting their Facebook page here.

Stay tuned, as Tailgate Lot will be running a contest this fall to give away a Home Run Koozie Kit!

University of Texas at Austin To Charge For Tailgating

AUSTIN (KXAN) - The University of Texas at Austin will likely impose a fee for tailgating parties at Centennial Park before football games.

UT Parking and Transportation Services Director Booby Stone said Friday that the proposal is still being fine-tuned. No decision has been made on what tailgaters would be charged.

"We will be charging for reserved tailgating spaces in Centennial Park for the upcoming season and are in the final stages of solidifying our approach," Stone said.

Stone said more details will likely be available by mid-May and that no changes are planned for tailgating parties on other areas on the campus.

Tailgating Command Unit: The Ambulance From TCU

The Tailgating Command Unit, aka the Frogmobile is a family affair.  Owned by brothers Tom and Tim Gibbons, and their wives Lorie (Tom's) and Jackie (Tim's), this rig was bought in 2005.

After about a year fixing it up, this rig has become a fixture at TCU home games, as well as some away games (Clemson, Norman, Austin, Phoenix, and Pasadena).  The ambulance was in good working condition when purchased, needing no repairs on the body, engine, or generator.

Inside the Tailgating Command Unit is new purple and white upholstery, with the TCU logo embroidered in the seat backs.  New paint and decals soon followed, as well as custom shirts and coozies bearing the Frogmobile logo.

The TCU is equiped with DirecTV, 36" flat panel and a 1250 watt sound system.  Internal storage is occupied with tents, chairs, coolers and grills.

The TCU has also been used for a get away vehicle for two different weddings.

You can follow the Tailgating Command Unit at their website, http://frogmobile.net.

Iowa State Van: The Suck

Here is the story of the Iowa State van known as "The Suck".

The owners are Gregg & Connie Horsman, Doug Johnson, and Tim Johnson. They bought the 1987 turtle top Dodge van on ebay from a Dallas, TX, couple in March of 2007.

Work began by removing the stove, refrigerator, and rearranging the bench seats so shelves could be added to hold our tents, chairs, coolers, etc... We use our ipod to provide tuneage through the upgraded tuner, amp, & speakers.

The self designed vinyl wrap was applied in August, 2008. Tailgating is huge at ISU and we love being a part of it. The family that tailgates next to us, liked our set up so much they got their own vinyl wrapped tailgating van.

If you're in Ames for a football game, stop by C6 for cold beverages!
