(MONEY Magazine) – When it comes to football, there are really two fields of play, the one inside the stadium and the one out in the parking lot.

1 Sirius Sportster Boombox Catch the pundits' pre-game predictions with the Sirius Sportster satellite-radio receiver, which brings you live feeds from every NFL game, for $13 a month.

2 Freedom Grill FG-100 The stainless-steel cooker ($799) attaches to the hitch of an SUV, leaving room inside your vehicle for more fans (or food).
