Along with my blog posts, I have been working on creating my own website that is directly related to my blog. I am providing the basically the same information about tailgating, but I just expand on some of the topics and provide additional resources. The title of my site is the same as my blog because I wanted to keep consistency between the two in order to make easy for my followers to stay current. It is just in the initial stages, so it is not entirely complete. It probably will not be done for some time either, but I will be continuously making updates for you to check out.
It is my goal to provide you with information that can help make your tailgating experience even better than it ever has been. I will write articles on typical problems that tailgaters run into, and how they can prepare themselves to avoid those situations later. For example, if you are unsure how to start a charcoal grill then my site would be an excellent place to visit because I will be providing tips on subject content just like that.
In addition, I will try to find the best possible resources for tailgating gear, recipes, and so forth to where you can expand your search to a broader area. Not solely relying on my information alone because by no means am I the most knowledgeable tailgater. Although I do have my fair share of my own personal experiences, and that is why I am trying to provide content that I feel is relevant to tailgating. The best way to do this is to point you in the direction of other experts and companies that provide information and accessories that will only improve your tailgating experience. I hope this additional content is helpful in your search for the best products and knowledge when it comes creating the best atmosphere at your tailgate event.

"The Ultimate Tailgater"
As I was researching for more ideas related to tailgating I came across this great blog that details many aspects of tailgating. If you had not noticed the name from the title of this blog it is also the site to be directed to “The Ultimate Tailgater”. This was established by several well accredited individuals that range from authors to life timers of dedicated tailgaters. One is even a VP of Marketing for a grill website that is specifically focused on grills for tailgating purposes. They each have their own niche when it comes to tailgating, and this allows them to give many perspectives of tailgating.
The range of concepts they cover is so vast. They have everything from recipes to rankings of the best places to tailgate. They do an excellent job of embracing the several styles of tailgating that you could enjoy. They even have a blog post on tailgating on a budget. I found that amazing because most of the time you want to go all out to have the best time, but if you continue to do this every week it could become quite costly. It is great they have assorted array of ideas that you can go and find. I definitely recommend checking out their site(s).
Their blog might be slightly outdated only because they transferred to a different web page. You can get there from the blog post, and they also provide other links that they found to be useful to their topics. I am almost positive you could find anything you could possibly think of that is related to tailgating. You will most likely not be left unsatisfied. If you cannot find what you are looking for here then I am unsure of where to direct you. The information provided is first-rate. Let me know what you think of the blog and website, and if it helped you out at all. To find their site I would suggest searching by the title “The Ultimate Tailgater” to find it.
Weekend is soon…that means tailgating can start as earlier as Saturday morning. We can only wait!

Top Activities to do while Tailgating
1. Drinking
2. Grilling/BBQ
3. Drinking Games (Beer Pong, Flippy Cup)
4. Bag Toss
5. Socialize with the neighbors
6. Throw football around
7. Eating your food and possibly the neighbors
8. Yelling/Screaming/Cheering for your team (Setting the atmosphere)
9. Walk the Lots
10. Watch/Listen to pregame announcements
The first two are the most obvious and critical for having a fun filled day of tailgating. Without beverages and cooking supplies the rest of the activities may not even be possible. If you want to experience tailgating the right way, you definitely want to prepare for those two. Having a few drinks and eating delicious grilled food are, to me; have to be the most important part of planning for tailgating. This helps move onto the next category of drinking games, which are always fun to play with your immediate group of friends or to spread out and meet some other friendly tailgaters and ask them to join your group. Creates a bit of competition amongst tailgaters (could ask a rival team that you are playing that week), and gets you excited for the upcoming game. It also gives you time to relax and talk to some strangers see how they made their journey to the stadium. You would be surprised; I have met people at baseball games that traveled from the east coast up to Chicago to watch the Cubs. I think it is interesting listening to other peoples stories and journeys to the game because there is always that one trip that just has a ridiculous amount of problems but somehow they were still able to make it. Some games that are perfect for the tight quarters in the lots are bags and throwing a football around. All you need is a long, narrow section (typically the drives in the lots) to setup your boards for bags or to begin playing a little bit of catch. Not only does this keep your mind occupied for the game, it gets your body moving (for cold weather) and gets you ready for some action. Finally, by far my favorite of all the activities (even though I ranked it as nine) is walking around the lots. Again, you would be surprised to all the different people and sites you see. One time on the way into Soldier Field we stopped at another friends tailgate in a closer lot, and of all luck I got some free chicken kabobs. Man…those were so delicious. It is surprising how everyone’s grilling techniques might be slightly different, but in the end it all tastes good.
Happy Tailgating!
