Ready or not, football season is officially upon us. If you’re anything like my husband (and millions of other fans) that means that viewing and experiencing the beloved sport is kind of a big deal. Tailgating is probably one of the most well-known and beloved ways to do so. It’s typically done in the parking lot or the outdoor area of a nearby stadium. You tailgate before the game to get excited, amped up, and be well fed. Tailgating is a time-honored football tradition that brings together several elements—football, food and fun—to create a memorable experience that is (dare I say it) almost better than the game itself. If you’re planning on enjoying or hosting a tailgate this football season, check out our handy guide about what you’ll need to create the ultimate tailgating experience.
