Tailgating Tips for Tailgaters

Tailgating is an American tradition that can be dated back to the Civil War in the mid 1800’s. People showed up with baskets of food to cheer on the Union soldiers by yelling “Go Big Blue!” Nowadays tailgating is saved for less extreme matchups with, some would say, equally dedicated fans. Football is normally the first event to come to mind when thinking of tailgating, but there are tailgate parties for concerts and other sporting events as well. The most common location for a tailgate party is in a parking lot. With modern technology, setting up a mobile kitchen is becoming easier and easier. Although tailgating is named from the use of a truck tailgate, having a truck is not a requirement for a great tailgate party. Buses, cars, vans, and even the occasional 18 wheeler can be used as a great tailgating vehicle. As long as the vehicle can be loaded down with various items for the party, it’s good to go. No matter what the cause or location for the party, there are some definite tailgate necessities to make the party work.
