Check out the tips you need to create the perfect pre-game tailgating party.
Writer’s Tips to Throwing the Best College Football Tailgating Party
Create a Schedule and a Guest List
As with any endeavor, success depends on organization.
The more organized you are the more successful your college football tailgating party.
The first rule in organizing anything is to set a schedule.
But before doing that, you must create a guest list.
You won’t know how much food to buy, utensils, and other things if you aren’t sure how many people are going to join your pregame party.
Check Out the Venue And Know Where You’re Going to Throw the Party
Take a look at the stadium and make plans on when you are going to throw your party.
Most college stadiums have designated tailgating party sections.
Know those sections. Also find a specific section for your party.
Don’t encroach on a someone else’s part of the tailgating section.
Many tailgaters have been throwing pre-game parties for years.
You don’t want to be that person.
Set Your Menu Knowing the Food is Going to Get Cold
Most likely, your food is going to get cold from the time you cook it to the time guests eat it.
Tailgating happens outdoors.
It happens in the fall into the early winter when temperatures begin to drop.
Creating a menu that has a lot of hot food items isn’t a great idea.
Your guests may also become disappointed, and the reason to tailgate is to have fun and enjoy time with friends and family.
You can keep those foods warm with a disposable chafing dish.
The food won’t stay ultra hot, but that’s okay.
Most people understand that their hamburger isn’t going to be perfect.
Bring Plenty of Ice and a Couple of Ice Chests for the Cold Food
Bring ice and ice chests for the cold food.
Also, it’s imperative to keep water and soda cold.
Prepare a couple of ice chests for the drinks.
One for water and one for soda.
Make sure to clearly mark the ice chests so those who want water aren’t searching in the soda cooler.
A MUST: Put up a Sign that Reads, “No Political Talk Allowed at this Tailgate Party.”
2024 is a Presidential Election year, which makes tailgating fun but full of pitfalls.
The last thing you want is for your guests to get into heated arguments regarding politics an hour before kickoff.
Putting up a sign that reads, “No political talk allowed” especially in October when both sides of the aisle will be at each other’s throats, is an effective way to keep the peace.
Load Up on Serving Tools and Make Plans for Leftovers
Make sure you’ve got plenty of serving tools, plastic forks are the most important, napkins, and make plans for leftovers.
Your guests will eat, but they aren’t likely to eat as much as you might think.
One or even two trash receptacles close but not too close to the serving table is essential.
Don’t make your guests run around the tailgating section of the stadium looking in search of a trashcan.
Most Significant Tip: Have Fun, but Don’t Forget to Make Your Bets Before Kickoff!
Here’s the most important tip: While you’re eating and having fun with your guests, don’t forget to place your College Football bets.
Yes, you can make live bets during he game, but you will be in the stadium and who wants to bet while you’re watching the game in the stadium?
If possible, make your bets before you set up your tailgating party.
Then you can discuss with your friends while enjoying the pre-game party.
