Tailgate During Football Season At Home - Tailgating Tips

Are you ready for some football? Listen, if it means that I get to throw a party and have some friends over, then call me the tailgate queen! Do you tailgate during football season? Personally, I think it’s the best part of the game.

There’s food, great conversation, your favorite people, and your glass is always filled with your favorite drink. Sounds like the perfect way to spend a weekend. If you are looking for tailgating tips, grab a chip filled with guacamole and take a seat, because I have plenty to share.

How To Tailgate During Football Season At Home

I have to admit that most of my tailgating takes place at home or at a friend’s house. I’ve only gone to a stadium once, but I did have an amazing time. If you haven’t done that yet, I strongly encourage that you do.

All you can eat, outside in the parking lot while hanging out with your friends = memories that last a lifetime. But it just isn’t always feasible, right? We can’t always find sitters and sacrifice an entire day away for a little fun.

Stadiums aren’t usually placed in the easiest of locations. Our local team’s home base is a few hours away from our house in fact! That’s why it’s just easier to do your tailgate adventures on your own turf. How do I set everything up? I turn to BJ’s Wholesale Club for my every need and literally call it a day.
