Tailgate viewing suggestions

Hey guys I don't have tickets to the Ohio State game, but I'm still tailgating.  I want to run a tv at my tailgate to watch the game.  I do not want to go a generator route, so I was looking for any tried and true methods for powering a tv.  I am going to be powering a 22" or 32" tv and did not know if my van battery w/inverter could support that kind of load for a the whole game plus the early games.  Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. 

 

GO STATE!!! BEAT THE WILDCATS!!

An inverter will work

We ran one at the Iowa game, started around noon, started the car a couple of times to charge up the battery, no big deal.

Are you using a satellite or just an antenna? I’m wondering if I just bring a TV with an antenna if I’ll be able to pick up the HD ABC signal out at the overnight RV lots.
