Intelligent Tailgating (or how to pick up girls in an abandoned parking lot)1)Check
Weather Report: Tailgating is an outdoor sport, and you need to pack and plan food accordingly. Don’t barbecue in heat, don’t do sandwiches in
cold.
2)Keep it simple! The less time you spend cooking,
more time you spend partying! One great time saver—pre-grill hot dogs, mets, or bratwurst, and put them in a thermos of boiling water. They stay hot for hours, and with a bun and a bottle of mustard and relish are as good as anything you will find in
stadium.
3)Music Makes it a party—But not too loud! Use
car Stereo to play tapes of games or music. But remember, you want people to be able to talk and socialize, so keep
volume under control.
3)Shade/Shelter—Whether it’s Sunny or Rainy, Providing cover is a good idea. A Simple way to do this is to open
trunk, stick a beach umbrella into
ground about three feet from
rear bumper and drape a clean plastic tarp from
trunk lid and over
umbrella.
4)Hold
Milk! Don’t serve anything creamy or milk based at
tailgate. Potato Salads and Slaws May be easy, but they also can spoil and make people sick.
5)Seating, Seating, Seating. Those cute girls that are looking at
party from across
lot? They might come over if there was somewhere to SIT! Whether
seating is blankets or folding chairs, bring extra!
