Since its a barbecue after a game, I assume, why just go the simple
route? Hot dogs, hambergers, boneless chicken breasts, maybe corn on
the cob or a big pot of baked beans, some salads (caesar, potato,
cucumber, macaroni, etc.), and potato chips and pretzels, maybe a
pot of chili? The salads and chili can be prepared in advance. It
won't take long to cook hotdogs, chicken breasts, and burgers. Maybe
some watermellon and other fresh fruit for dessert.

You didn't say what kind of budget you are working with, but the
menu I suggested would be one of the more inexpensive options.
