Are you ready for some football? Some people count themselves among hardcore college football and don't care for pro football. They live for the big game and have undying allegiance to their school colors and team. Others would list themselves as pro football fans exclusively and could care less about college ball. Some fans love both. College football or pro football fans both have one thing in common, for sure. They love a great tailgating party. Everyone wants to be in the stadium watching the game, but the next best thing, is tailgating. How to throw a great tailgating party is not rocket science. You already know the basics if you have been to a tailgating party. However, some preparation and planning, as well as some serious packing of necessary supplies, is a must if you are going to throw a good tailgating party. After all, you probably want people to come back to your tailgater again and again.
So, are you ready for some football - tailgating style? Go ahead. Run out for the long pass and then, huddle up and listen up. Tailgating is about 3 mandatory components and a 4th component that can define your tailgating party into one of two categories - an ok one and one that gets you loyal returning number 1 fans. The 3 mandatory components are beer, grilled meat, and team spirit, as demonstrated in how much of your team colors, team mascot, and other team paraphenelia you can display. It is unlikely, but you might just barely get by without all of the team spirit flags, colors, and face paint, but you are never going to live it down if you don't provide a lot of beer and a lot of grilled meat. You can't have too much cold beer. Period. And it certainly doesn't hurt to have other alcoholic beverages on hand either. People, as the party winds down, will appreciate some water bottles as well, as they try to rehydrate from all that beer drinking. You have to have coolers, usually multiple, filled with ice and beer. Go ahead and make sure to provide soda and water bottles too. You have to provide drinks for the designated drivers in the crowd.
The second mandatory component is the grilled meat. It doesn't matter what it is, but have a lot of it. Burgers, brats, sausage, and wings - it doesn't matter as long as you have a lot of it and some variety makes it better. You have to have a grill or multiple grills. You have to have some grill master tools to man that grill. You need a real solid bbq grill tool set.
Now what sets your party apart from just any tailgating party is the 4th component. In addition to the standard beer and brats, up it up and make them go hog wild in joy by making pulled pork sandwiches and a giant beverage dispenser for the margarita lovers out there. Make sure to have plenty of sides that you can keep cold in soft insulated coolers. Sides like potato salad, macaroni salad, veggie crudites and dip, and any other cold side dish that you can prepare ahead of time and keep cold in a plastic food storage container within the confines of a well insulated cooler. The cold sides pair well with the hot meats from the grill. Make sure to have plastic cups for those who will be drinking your margaritas from your beverage dispenser.
You are sure to get a touchdown rating and lots of football fans as well as tailgating fans if you keep the mandatory items plentiful and if you bring in the extras to kick it up a notch. Now, are you ready for some football?
