Back when I lived in Florida and we attended every home game, our tailgating usually started out each season with a simple hamburger and hot dog event or something similar.  Each home game we would ratchet it up and eventually go to chicken, ribs and our final regular season fare was steak. We were on the local news one year as some reporter was doing a piece on the tailgating atmosphere at the Bulls final home game one year.  Cute blond, can't remember her name.  She was impressed with my grill work - or so she said...  ;D Plenty of Amber Bock abounded as well as a TV/VCR.  We ritually watched the "First Stampede" VHS tape to kickoff each season.  Then each week, we'd usually have the TV on another live game just for ambiance. We usually tailgated with a group of about 8-10, always inviting new Bulls when possible.  We went through a few different grill upgrades, two canopy upgrades, folding tables and such. Even bought my Xterra in a gold tone so as to complement the game day colors.  The previous tailgating vehicle was a Bulls Green Explorer. As the kids got old enough, we would bring a foam football to the tailgate so they could toss it around and experience the brutal oppression of the Parking Lotzis. Our tailgate usually had some banner or something that said SouthFloridaBulls.com so you may have seen us at one time or another. In three hours I had enough time to get parked, bribe the parking lotzi, put up a canopy, hook up audio/video, cook the chow, feed everyone, eat a bite myself, take down everything, stow it, and rush into the stadium for kickoff.  It was a great time in spite of the short time allowed to "tailgate". After I moved out of state, I generally joined BullBacker tailgates. Those are always good. A lot of good people, plenty of good food and Bulls talk. Last one I attended had a couple dozen people and it was fun talking with all the gang.
