Sounds like you are tailgating in a truck.
I just bought one of these and I get over 20 channels. On Saturday and Sunday I get ALL the sports channels. FOR FREE.
Mohu Leaf® Amplified HDTV Antenna
60-mile range amplified indoor HDTV antenna
I have bought and tried just about all of them and THIS ONE is the ONLY ONE THAT WORKS!
Walmart carries it. Note: Be SURE to read the label on box and get the one that is "amplified and for 60 miles". They run around 50 bucks.
The less expensive ones are less miles distance to tv stations broadcasting and they are NOT amplified. You will only get about 2 channels if you are lucky. Just don't be tempted to buy them they are worthless.
the MOHU LEAF is paper thin. 8x10. All you would need to do is slap/tape it in your windshield, side window or back window of your truck. Plug it in and there you go tons of channels!
If you need a power source also:
For power you need a jump-it starter box and small inverter. I ran a TV all night long on one charge. It has a 12v plug for cig lighter to recharge by starting your truck or find an outlet outside the stadium or inside a bathroom to plug in to recharge.
....PLUS.....
When you are all done tail gaiting you can take that antenna home and hook it up to your TV put antenna anywhere on the wall no window required and watch all the channels and sports you want for free.
And keep the jump starter in your truck. You will be amazed how many friends that need a jump you will be able to help and/or your own truck! :C
Lots of good ideas. I have done all of the above w the exception of buying the right antenna. The one I got was a cheap non amplified version so big change is getting the Mohu it appears.
Many thanks
