Thursday Tailgate Tip: Make Friends
Who doesn’t love to head over to the stadium for a little tailgate action? Even if you don’t have tickets to the game, you can’t beat that awesome tailgating atmosphere. Every Thursday, BCS Frenzy is proud to bring you the Tailgate Tip of the Week. Feel free to send in your own tips or tailgating pictures, and I’ll post ‘em!
Tailgating with old friends is fun. Tailgating with new friends is fun-er. When you tailgate, you’re in a car lot with like, 100,000 or more other people who share a common interest–love for your football team. So why not make friends?
No, really. It sounds a little elementary school, but having lots of tailgating friends to play with will increase the awesome-o-meter’s level at your tailgate for a bunch of reasons. First, you get to talk about football. I love walking around, meeting hot guys, and being able to actually hold and intelligent conversation about the upcoming game, even after a few beers. Talking about the game just gets everyone riled up! Walk around the Penn State tailgate sometime and just yell “We are…!” You’ll see how quickly people get excited, and soon the whole lot is chanting “…Penn State!”
Tailgating friends are also your source for food and drinks. Most of the old-time tailgaters know that you don’t come with just enough food for yourself. You bring enough to feed an army. As you walk around meeting people, you’re going to get a lot of free food, as well as a lot of free alcohol.
If nothing else, say hello to the people parked next to you. Hear their stories - how long they’ve been coming to the games, why they’re fans, what they think of *insert coach, player, line, etc here*. Offer them some food (make sure you bring enough), help them lift that gigantic cooler, and catch their pile of napkins when the wind begins to blow. Be a good neighbor, and you could have game day friends for life.
Who’s the most interesting person you’ve ever met when tailgating?
