The whole tailgate, handled

You show up. We brought the party.

Every Gametime tailgate rolls in fully loaded: the setup, the food, the games, the cleanup. Here's what's staked out and waiting when you get to the lot.

  • Tents, tables, chairs & games

    A tent-covered spot staked out and set, with high-top tables, seating, and the games ready the minute you roll up.

  • Live-fire cooking

    Our crew fires the grills on-site. Three hours of food coming hot off the line, never trucked in cold.

  • Drinks & coolers

    Soda and water included, plus coolers for your BYOB. (Ice for the alcohol available.)

  • Staffed start to finish

    Our wait staff run the whole thing and break it all down. You never touch a tray.
