6 Top Tips to Plan a Super NCAA Tailgate Party
An NCAA tailgate party combines the thrill of college football and picnics. By following some basic guidelines, you can make your next NCAA tailgate party the best one possible.
Do you like picnics and college football? If so, then why not combine the two in an NCAA tailgate party? The tailgate party could be before or after the game, such as an Arkansas Razorbacks game. The party could include hamburgers, hotdogs-or both! The party could be in the autumn or even during a frigid winter! Regardless of when and where you have your tailgate party, here are some tips to make it successful:
1. Plan a scavenger hunt
Have guests at your tailgate party complete certain tasks on a list. Those could include requesting to take a bite of a stranger’s hamburger or hot dog, giving high fives to fans of the opposite gender, and having a picture taken with a fan that supports the visiting team. This is a great kinesthetic activity before or after enjoying NCAA tailgate party food and beverages!
2. Keep your supply line close
As with any other party, it is important to have all the gear you need, to make your tailgate party a blast. Here is a list of some essentials for any NCAA tailgate party:
“beverages
“cooler
“food
“grill
“lighting
“portable television
“silverware
“stereo
“tables
As always, it is better to be safe than sorry. Make sure to bring only the right items, and to bring enough of them.
3. Prepare and handle food properly
You have some choices regarding food. You can choose either food that you can cook before the tailgate party, or food that you prepare on the grill. Make sure that hot food remains hot (minimum 140°F), and that cold food remains cold (maximum of 40°F).Taking these measures will help to prevent food poisoning.
4. Have a contest to determine the top fan
In the spirit of the game’s competiveness, have a contest to determine who the top fan at the tailgate party is. Participants can let their imaginations run wild, and use anything from face paint to masks, and from hats to temporary tattoos. For prizes, use small memorabilia featuring your favorite NCAA team.
5. Decorate the area
To make the tailgate party more festive, decorate the area with the team colors of your favorite NCAA team. Use NCAA banners, flags, cups, plates, and other items. There are no limits to how you can decorate the tailgating party area-use your imagination!
6. Arrive early enough at the parking lot
The early bird will catch the choice parking space. Get to the stadium parking lot at least a few hours before the game starts. That will give you enough time to set up everything. Dedicate an area for grilling, and an extra table as the buffet table.
If you want to make a great NCAA game even greater, then consider a tailgate party. By following the aforementioned tips, you can make sure that the party is safe, diverse, and most importantly-a ball. Finally, never forget to bring your NCAA memorabilia, to cheer on your team before and during the game!
