Tailgating is as much a part of game day as the game itself. And if you’re going all-out for your next tailgate party, why settle for basic? It’s time to elevate the experience—for you and everyone on your guest list.

Whether you’re setting up outside the stadium, at a park, or even at home, a little extra planning can turn a regular tailgate into a standout celebration. Here’s how to kick it up a notch—and why restroom trailers might just be your secret weapon.

Create a “Home Base” That Wows

Forget the scattered lawn chairs and solo cooler setup. If you want your tailgate party to feel next-level, create a true home base. Think tents, tables, seating areas, and themed decorations that show off your team spirit. Bring multiple tables—one for food, one for drinks, one for games, set up a tent or shade structure, and decorate with team gear.

The goal is to make it easy for people to hang out, eat, and relax. Comfort turns a pop-in tailgate into an all-day party.

Make Food and Drinks an Event of Their Own

Hot dogs and chips are fine—but great tailgates are known for their food! Create a simple menu that’s easy to serve and doesn’t require you to spend all your time cooking.

Game-day favorites that impress:

• Grilled sliders or gourmet sausages

• Signature cocktails

• DIY nacho or taco bar

• Hand pies or mini desserts for easy, grab-and-go sweets

And don’t forget plenty of ice, water, and coolers. A stocked drink station keeps everyone happy—and hydrated.

Entertainment Beyond the Game

While the main event is obviously the game, don’t leave downtime to chance. Keep guests engaged with extra activities like cornhole tournaments, ladder toss, or face painting for kids (and willing adults.)

A little friendly competition keeps energy high while everyone waits for kickoff.

Upgrade the Essentials—Including Restrooms

Here’s the thing most people don’t talk about: at big tailgates, bathroom access can be rough. Long lines. Questionable cleanliness. No sinks.

That’s where restroom trailers come in. Renting a luxury restroom trailer for your tailgate party might sound over the top—but trust us, it’s a game-changer.

Benefits of having a restroom trailer on-site:

• Clean, private restrooms with real toilets, sinks, and running water

• Climate-controlled interiors (huge in hot or cold weather)

• Shorter lines and no searching for facilities mid-party

• Better hygiene to keep everyone comfortable and healthy

Plus, your guests will never forget that you thought of their comfort. 

Make Your Tailgate Party Unforgettable

A truly epic tailgate party isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the important things better. When you focus on comfort, convenience, and crowd-pleasing food and fun, you create an experience that keeps people talking.

And if you really want to level up? Bring in a luxury restroom trailer from A Royal Flush. Our restroom trailers are clean, stylish, and easy to set up—giving your guests the VIP treatment they deserve.

Because when game day rolls around, you should be thinking about touchdowns, not toilet lines.
