  Park a couple of large flatbed trucks on your front lawn to throw a tailgating bash. Put down the tailgates and turn them into your serving stations, with one truck being devoted to drinks and the other to food offerings. Hang pennant banners across the back windows of your pickup trucks. Use washable window markers to write things like," #1," and, "Go team!" all over your truck windows. Set out camping chairs or folding chairs all over the lawn.
