To tailgate right, you’ve got to be at the top of your game and some tailgating pros have this advice:
• You'll probably need to show up about 3 to 4 hours before the game to set up. That should give you plenty of time to cook the food, play some games and just hang out with your group. Don't forget to factor in some time to break everything down once you're done.
• Pick a prime location. If you can, look for a parking space right next to a grassy area so you'll have more space to spread out and one less car next to you.
• Make friends with the other football fans parked around you. Who knows? You might even decide to plan your next tailgate party with them.
• Play by the rules. When you're tailgating, remember that the parking lot or facility where you're partying probably has rules. This could be simple things like making sure to clean up after you're finished, no unattended grills or, as on some college campus parking lots, no alcoholic beverages.
• Try to think of everything you'll be doing when you're tailgating and make a list of everything you'll need and delegate who brings what.
• When it comes to tearing down your tailgating site, apply the camping rule that says you should take out everything you bring in. You might be able to find some trash cans nearby, but then again, you might not. Make sure to pack some garbage bags, just in case.
