Tailgating is not just a chance to eat outside with a group of friends. It is a way of life. Each year, tailgaters do everything they can to top the previous year's experiences. To help you do that this year, here are some tips for your next tailgating party.
Reserve Your Space
One of the misconceptions about tailgating is that you must show up and fight for your space. Waiting until the last minute to secure a spot could mean you and your group are tucked off in a corner that no one wants.
Luckily for you and your group, most stadiums will allow you to reserve your space or unit before the big day. Remember, other tailgaters might have the same idea. Start planning to reserve your space at least a few months ahead. The more popular the team is, the more time you need to spend looking to the future.
Rent a Portable Toilet
You and your group can find a spot nestled near the portable toilets, but those areas will likely fill up quickly. There is also the inconvenience of having to share the space with hundreds of other people. It is easy to avoid this issue.
You can rent your own portable toilet. The toilet can be placed in the area in which you and your group will be setting up camp. Ensure the rental company knows ahead of time your unit location and the right time to drop it off. It is important to note that you do not have to stick with just a toilet. You can opt for a deluxe toilet that has freshwater and other amenities. Visit a site like http://www.waltersportabletoilets.com for more help.
Prepare Your Food Ahead of Time
It might seem common sense, but some tailgaters find themselves scrambling to prepare their food once they reach the location. Depending on how many people are in your group, this can cause a serious drag in the event.
The week before you plan to tailgate, take the time to prepare your menu and think about what steps you can take to get the food ready. For instance, if you are serving kebabs, skewer and marinate them the night before. You could also shape the burger patties and place them in a pan between wax paper sheets to cook for the next day.
Planning the perfect tailgating experience takes time, but it will pay off. Work with others in your group to ensure that everyone has fun.
