Football season is here and as any fan knows, it’s about so much more than just the game. It’s about the gameday atmosphere, the camaraderie, the competitive banter, and the tailgating experience. So to kick-off the season, we’ve asked our friend and Etiquette Expert, Patricia Rossi to share her 11 tailgating etiquette tips.
- Make a list and check it twice ….. Prepare the day before
- Arrive 3 to 4 hours before the event …… scout out your spot & to set up etc.
- Tailgating is just one big pot luck Festival, so make enough to share
- Use Zip Locks to store your meat. …. Tupperware is a no-no
- Don’t be a Mooch-….. Don’t show up with just a smile – offer to bring something and bring double
- Don’t jack your music to heaven ….. It’s a form of pollution
- Set up with( Like) tailgaters … people who share your interest
- Pack emergency items … like a flash-light, first aid kit, rain gear, and toilet paper
- f you fly an American flag … Show respect, if you opt to fly other flags, American Flag sits highest, don’t fly it after dark
