WHAT TO EXPECT...
Tailgating has become such a huge part of the American football experience and is a staple in the lexicon of pop culture among sports fans. As someone who has attended several hundred college football games in over 100 stadiums, I have witnessed a dire need for visiting fans or local fans without a tailgate. You see them at every game you go to. The group of fans carrying around an 18-pack of beer or drinking bad booze and eating chips out of their trunk wishing they could get dialed into the social scene. Yeah, I have even been that guy once or twice, or maybe more times than I am willing to admit. Or, it is the group that flies in for the game, heads to the local Walmart and buys a bunch of provisions and apparatuses to have a rushed mediocre tailgate while sticking to themselves.
On the flip side, some of the best tailgate experiences I have ever had were when I was introduced to a local host via a friend and attended their all-inclusive hassle free tailgate. Additionally, I have connected numerous tailgaters in the same manner. It is an opportunity to share a mutual passion of football and tailgating with like-minded people.
It allows you as a visitor or a non-regular to really soak in the local flavor and atmosphere, and have a great experience. I have made life-long friends with a number of these hosts that I had first met in this fashion.
It is through these experiences that the idea for Tailgate Connect® was born. I wanted to create a vehicle that would easily connect like-minded fans to share in food and drink, stories and traditions and do so in a hassle-free environment.
Join us today and celebrate in one of America's favorite pastimes.
