We're a couple weeks away from the NFL regular season and unlike last year, fans of all 32 franchises will be able to see their favorite teams live. If you've been counting down the days until the first tailgate of the year, then you're likely upgrading fan gear and necessities to camp out in the stadium parking lot.
Fanatics has thousands of items ranging from coolers to games and even car decals that will elevate your pre-game experience. We browsed through the site's inventory and located our seven favorite items from some of the NFL's most popular teams. Most products are available for each city and plenty remain in stock.
Scroll on to see what the options are and shop even more options at Fanatics ahead of the Thursday night matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and reigning champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers September 9.

If a tower is too tall of a challenge, dice are a fair alternative. The set includes 6 extra large dice, 2 dry-erase scoreboards, 2 dry-erase markers and a storage bag.
Raiders Ottoman Cooler & Seat
We love this cooler for a number of reasons. It has a front panel door for easy access to snacks, an integrated luggage strap on back side of cooler and when the top is closed, holds up to 350 pounds when used as a seat or ottoman.
