Do you like to tailgate before a game?

[_Maya_]

Have you been to any that were really fun? Good food? Etc...

We used to do this back when I was in school for my undergrad. Always a good time, especially if you couldn't get tickets for the game.

Yes

No

[gorydetails]

Absolutely. I'm southern so tailgating is in my blood. My friends and I do a dad's trip every year... I've tailgated at Ole Miss, VA Tech, USC, Clemson, Tennessee, UGA, UNCC, CCU, plus some NFL Games and concerts. Hell, I've tailgated before my kids' soccer games.

[_Maya_]

I went to a Big Ten school so this was a normal Saturday thing for our group. Tons of fun. Great vibe on game day.

[gorydetails]

@_maya_ for sure. We may venture out of the SEC/ACC to a big 10 school eventually. But we're big fans of girls in sundresses and cowboy boots.

I don't ever recall going to a tailgate party before a big game. I often do it for work though, obviously not the drinking etc., but I use the tailgate to cook my lunch or dinner depending on where I am and what I am doing. I sometimes set up the bbq and chill out in the middle of nowhere. Things always taste better outdoors.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I'm from the south. Sometimes you can't make it to the game but you still go to the tailgating.

[_Maya_]

Sometimes the best part anyway.

[Grond21]

I've only done it a few times. Unfortunately, they were lackluster, except for one. That was a lot of fun. It would be fun to do more often, though, especially if there was good people and good food.

[_Maya_]

I've been to some really fun ones. The food is usually amazing.

[Grond21]

What college campus? And was it put on by students or other people?

[_Maya_]

I went to Penn State. It was students and fans. Huge crowds. You kinda just walked around and joined people randomly. Lots of fun.

[Grond21]

... what. You can do that? I am shocked.

Oh wait. Did men do it also? Or was it only pretty girls, or groups with pretty girls in them?

Also, I am a bit south of there

[_Maya_]

There were some that were regular fans that had their regular groups. Others just invited anyone around there tent or RV. Very friendly crowds. Group that I always went to games with was a mix of guys and girls.

[Grond21]

Wow. I am emuluos now!

[Grond21]

Emulous*

[KostasKouvalis]

Oh, I thought you meant "tailgate" as in, drive inches from someone's car😂

No, I've never done tailgate parties

[_Maya_]

Lol yes that is tailgating as well. I am talking the fun type. 😆

[KostasKouvalis]

Both can be fun, as long as you aren't on the receiving end😂

Anyways, these tailgate parties seem to mainly be a thing in the football/baseball community

[_Maya_]

They are a huge college football thing for sure.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, college football has a huge following apparently. It might even be bigger than the NFL and I know some college stadiums are bigger than NFL stadiums

[_Maya_]

I went to Penn State. Never really been into football but if you go to a big school like that you almost have to get into it. So I did lol. Games were a blast in the student section but the tailgate part of it was the best.

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't like football either, and I never went to a major sports university, but I can totally understand how that could happened. I would go if someone paid for me, or tickets weren't too expensive, just to experience the atmosphere.

[MikeTheBartender]

Not a big sports fan but definitely tail gate at concerts

[_Maya_]

That still counts!

[Sparkie460]

I love it. There's a group of us that go together. We fire up the BBQ, have a couple beers. We do it every time we have tickets to a game.

[_Maya_]

Yep. They are tons of fun. I went to PSU and that was a regular Saturday thing even without tickets.

[Sparkie460]

Do you still tailgate

[_Maya_]

I haven't been to a game this year yet. I am doing my master's at one of Penn States satellite campuses that is close to home. I am hoping to get down there in November with a few friends and definitely will tailgate.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I have been to one and I really enjoyed it. The crowd gives off a friendly vibe.

[_Maya_]

They really do have a fun vibe.

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I really liked that. It felt like a big outdoor party, lol.

[BigDog1989]

NO, but I never go to games anyway. I was in marching for high school, and i didn't go to university (so no football).

I am going to a tailgate next April. Wrestlemania, 40

[JonesT10Apr]

I do not much known about tailgate...

little curious to know about it...

[_Maya_]

Just like a big party with food and drink before big sporting events in the US.

[JonesT10Apr]

oh... nice...

[zagor]

Nah. I'd rather watch on TV at home or someplace that has decent food and beer.

Stadiums screw you for $12-20 per piss-poor beer.

[Iron_Man]

Sure I’ve done that before at the Dolphins game

[dolemite58]

of course, you haven’t lived til u’ve tailgated at a raiders game at least once in ur life 😅

[CubaPirate]

That kinda thing doesn't over her in the UK

[Akam93]

Yes there really fun.

[_Maya_]

Totally agree.

[exitseven]

Getting falling down drunk before a game is not my idea of fun.

[TallAnon]

I have no clue what this is about, lol

[_Maya_]

More or less a big party to eat and drink before a big sporting event.

[TallAnon]

I see, I've never been to a sport event, didn't know it includes parties

[princeofromance]

I have never, nor will I ever tailgate before a game.

[Mansearching]

If I get a chance to go, I would.

[Anonymous]

I was more interested in trying to steal the cars

[BLP11520]

Never get to games anymore

[Anonymous]

I've never tailgated, but I'd like to try.

[krin_m]

Always fun!

[strateguy632]

bbq!
