You can gear up for the big game in the stadium parking lot (or in your own driveway) with a good-time BBQ tailgate party.
Instructions
1. Put on every bit of clothing you own with your team's insignia on it. You cannot go overboard here. Face paint in your team's colors is always a nice touch.
2. Decorate your truck, van or sports utility vehicle (see "Decorate Your Vehicle for a Tailgate Party"), making sure to put a flag on your antennae so that your friends can find you.
3. Pack your ice chest with lots of hamburgers and hotdogs to grill, buns and condiments (see "Pack for a Tailgate Party") along with plenty of beer. If it is cold, you may want to make a batch of tailgate tumblers (see "Make A Tailgate Tumbler") before you leave and bring them along in a thermos.
4. Pack your BBQ grill, charcoal, lighter fluid and spatula. If you really want to show off your team spirit, you can get a helmet grill or NFL cooler with your team's logo on it.
5. Order a party-in-a-box, including plates, napkins, cups, cover and snack bowl, with your team's insignia on it.
6. Bring a portable radio, and set it up on top of your vehicle so that you can hear pregame interviews or keep track of the other games going on.
7. Bring several folding chairs so that everyone can sit comfortably while they chow down.
8. After a few drinks, wander around until you find John Madden's bus - wave and yell, "Hi, John," at the tinted windows.
