The tailgating

My favorite thing of all though is the tailgating.  I absolutely love to grill out in the UOP parking lot.  Many go over to the Great Lawn and meet up with friends and family to really do it up.  The atmosphere all around the stadium for the four hours leading up to game time is something else.  Four hours prior to a game is when you are allowed into the lots and start partying.

I know people that just go and pay for the parking and just tailgate but don’t go into the game.  And why not?  You get to eat, drink, laugh, have fun with others. The each stall in the parking lot leaves a lot of room for you and your vehicle.

People bring televisions hooked up to their Direct TV to watch NFL Sunday Ticket.  I do not have that service but I do have Sirius/XM NFL Radio and can listen to all the games while grilling my hot dogs and hamburgers.  A great time indeed.
