Music:

Anthony Ojeda reminded KPRC 2: "Don't forget your favorite tailgating band! Houston Texans Deep Steel Thunder!"

Shelter:

Whether it's a tent or a full-blown shelter like the Texans Tavern, it's a good idea to have some place to go if the sun or rain gets to be too much.

First Aid Kit: 

While some folks said Pepto and Imodium were essential, a nurse shared a reminder than an entire first aid kit is a good idea for tailgating. 

Many, many photos of alcohol were submitted to us, as well as one-word responses, such as "beer." Chilling out with friends and a cold one – or two -- is a tailgating tradition. 

And have you seen one of these – a shotski? 

Food. Lots of food:

Gyros, fries, potatoes and guacamole were just some foods people mentioned, but we know there are plenty of other foods that make a tailgate complete, from brisket to wings.

What's your favorite tailgating food?

We loved this player pinata idea.

And this big truck.
