What is tailgating?
A tailgate party is a social gathering with your friends and family, often in parking lots at a sporting event, concert, or any other attraction. Most will pop open their trunks for impromptu seating. One of the most popular tailgating gatherings is a football tailgate barbecue.
It is believed that Green Bay Packers supporters are the ones who first coined the term "tailgating." They would arrive at the stadium with the beds of their trucks filled with potatoes, ham, and plenty of booze to go around.
