Anyone tailgated with the Mav? Any tips? Thinking of rigging team flag (Go Lions!) to truck bed, setting up propane grill, team logo cooler, team window flags, team song looped on bluetooth speaker, etc.

A man met a genie and the genie told him he gets one wish. The man says "I wish to live forever", but the genie replied "Sorry, that is one wish I can not grant you" , so the Man then says "Well, then I wish to live as long as it takes the Detroit Lions to win a Superbowl".

The genie replies "You crafty Bastard!"


Ok Ok. Not really a Lions hater, and Barry Sanders was amazing (And Herman Moore was one of my favorite receivers ever).

Hmmm, prep what you can ahead of time (bring sliced tomatoes for burgers instead of a knife and a whole one for example)...

Don't forget some games (cornhole, frisbee, football)

Some comfy fold up chairs and dress for the weather.

I have. Depending on your parking lot situation, you might want to make sure everything fits under a tonneau cover and you pack it away / out of sight when you go into the stadium. There are many folding grilles that work great, I have a coleman.

You have a major advantage having a hybrid; just leave it running and you can run accessories from 12V / 120V power all you want, it will just fire up the gas engine now and then to recharge the batteries.

I slam the brakes on when people tailgate me. That's the only tip I have...

It's more fun to flash your headlights--and thus taillights, which look much like the brake lights during the day.

Extra fun is when it's a motorcycle (you can see the hand lunge for the brake in the rear view), or a hopped-up Porsche (you can see the nose dip and the tail kick up)!

Eagles fan here. Almost sorry about last night... I think y'all surrendered that flag.

Honestly was pulling for the Rams to get their SB with Stafford that year though.
