1. Pick the spot
When planning the perfect tailgate, choosing the right location is essential. Your best bet is a parking lot or flat field area, which allows people to roam around as they please.
This will encourage people to play football and frisbee, along with other games that will surely make your tailgate one to be remembered.
Finally, try to chose an area close to the event you plan on attending afterwards so that your entire group won’t have to trek miles and miles to get to the desired location.
2. Invite friends
The success of a tailgate is measured directly by the turnout. In order to make your event the best it can be invite everyone you know to join in the fun.
Putting specific friends in charge of music or games will take some of the workload off of you.
Advertising is a key way to make this happen. The DECA club, which hosted a tailgate the night of the first home football game, posted flyers and banners around school, as well as advertisements on the news reel.
However, if you are looking to keep your event exclusive, Facebook invitations should do the trick just fine.

3. Show spirit
The entire point of planning the perfect tailgate is to show spirit for whichever team you happen to be rooting for.
Dress in your teams’ colors, make posters and practice your cheering. Act as energetic and loud at the games as you possibly can!
4. Cook the food
The most crucial part of a tailgate is definitely the food. In order to truly have a successful tailgate, make sure you have all of the basics.
These include hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, soda and all necessary condiments to complete your meal.
It is important to know the number of people who plan on attending prior to purchasing the food in order to avoid running out in the middle of your tailgate.
