It has just been a little over two months since I created this blog for users that were looking for additional information regarding tailgating activities, tips, recipes and more. My initial objective was to just create topics where people could interact with them by leaving comments about their advice and stories.
One of my earlier posts debated between what type of grill will cook your meats to perfection. At your tailgate party, you want to have the best possible food available, and personal preference of taste will determine which category of grills you would cook from. You can find more of this debate at its original source, “Grilling Challenge: Gas vs. Grill.”
I also wanted to provide users with the top products, different tips and techniques offered by experienced tailgaters. This could include any personal information that I might have, any research that I conduct, or other personal stories/ideas about what makes their tailgate party the best. My post, “Top Activities to do while Tailgating,” supplied tailgaters with different suggestions that they could while they are hanging out in the lots. Depending on how crazy you feel at the moment you could either tackle all 10 activities or only one or two. In addition, “Essentials of Tailgating,” is another topic where you find ideas related to most key, quality items that you could want and need for your tailgate party.
Finally, I sought to supply resources outside my own personal knowledge, since mine is limited about tailgating. This was probably the best way for my readers to find the pertinent information they wanted because it would them alternative options with more seasoned, experienced tailgaters. My first attempt was to send readers to another blog post called, “The Ultimate Tailgater,” but I think this was futile since it does not seem like they updating continuously. For a better perspective for finding more information I would look under both of these posts, “The Drunken Tailgate,” and, ”Tailgating Lots from Tailgating America”. I believe both of these are currently still posting, and you probably have a better chance of what you are looking for.

Essentials of Tailgating
My first and foremost number one rule of tailgating is just too simply have a whole bunch of fun and excitement. Since tailgating is an activity that mostly partakes on the weekends this is a time for rest and relaxation, so use the most of your time wisely. This should not be a stressful event. If it is you are either taking this way to serious, or you were not quite properly prepared.
That is my next point. In order to optimize your fun level the best way is to prepare yourself a few days or weeks in advance. This will ensure that you have everything you will need at the game, and you will not just be sitting in your chair with a dumb look on your face. I can guarantee you that if you actually take the time to plan out your day by setting a schedule of what times you want to arrive and by preparing a list of items that you will need. It may seem pointless and a waste of time at first, but it will only take a few moments to create these lists. These two steps will prevent any heartache that could arise if you show up unprepared.
You would not want to show up at the lots without a grill, even if it is the smallest Weber charcoal grill. That would be more satisfying than not having one at all because smelling all the good eats would be unbearable. Not to mention the money you can save by not buying food in the game. I would definitely recommend enough chairs for everyone in the group, and to bring large enough coolers to fit your drinks and food. It is a long day when you start tailgating as early as 5:30 am, and you want to save every last bit of energy you have. It will not be good if you go unnourished, and begin to feel weak and sick. This is not a good at all…this happens to me quite a bit when I go to concerts and I would rather avoid this feeling.
Remember to stay full and hydrated…and most importantly always, always have the most fun you can have. Without taking it too far…you do not want to end in the drunk tank!
