The first step in planning any event is to make sure there are people there! Check your club or organization list and make sure everyone received an invitation. Remember to include other friends and relatives too. Always make certain that the time, place and meet up time are correct. But because of the increased popularity of Tailgating, many Universities have designated spots in parking lots that you can reserve. Be sure you are familiar with the rules, especially pertaining to alcohol. Stricter rules are now being enforced at many universities. So if that is an important issue to you, you might want to consider the Tailgate party being held in your back yard or driveway.
Another thing to remember is to make sure that the arrival time on the invitation will allow your arrival time at the site about 3-4 hours early. Most people plan for the trip home to begin about two hours after the game has ended. This allows time after the game to visit, to clean up and you will miss the mad dash out of the stadium. Everyone needs to know if a group meal is planned or individual meals. Be sure and include that information in the invitation. A group meal makes it easier for all parties concerned. The person planning the party can frequently be in charge of the meat, with the others bringing side dishes.
The simpler the better, but the tailgate party has grown from simply carrying supplies in the trunk, to entire corporations with hospitality booths. Most tailgaters have a grill of sorts and cook out under the open sky. Because of the popularity of Tailgate Parties and traveling meals, grills that attach to your vehicles have been designed and are sold everywhere.
Stay tuned for more great tailgating ideas!
In today’s world, we are always looking for better ways to reuse and recycle. Tailgater’s need to join in and do our part. Here are examples of how simple changes can make a major impact on the environment.
