Football season is all but here, which means that prime Tailgate Season is swiftly descending upon us. As pastimes go, tailgating is great because there’s not much to it. You don’t have to know a lick about football or whatever other sport you’re needlessly drinking in preparation for, and you don’t have to like either team playing that day. As you navigate a stadium parking lot, remember that not all tailgates are created equal and, while you’re mostly there to hang out with your friends.

Think of tailgating as a life skill;  Flexibility is key, and to maximize your experience, you’ll want to dress comfortably enough to be able to walk around, get sweaty, and go with the flow. If plans change, a friend bails, or the beer at your particular tent runs out, don’t worry about it. It turns out that strangers are especially welcoming when surrounded by beer before their favorite team hits the field, College football tailgates are especially friendly

Food is the other linchpin to a good tailgate. There are people who take this very seriously. They’re the types who start cooking a burgers and hot dogs low and slow two days before game day. Look for those tailgates. You should be able to sniff them right out. Smoked meats and various types of barbecue items are standard fare at these special pre-game celebrations, as are tortilla chips and salsas, brats, possibly beans, other types of chips,  and appetizers that stretch from the stadium’s main gate all the way to the lot where no one wants to park. If you’re in a place with a healthy appreciation for tailgating, there will still be people partying from the trunks of their cars all the way in the back lot. There will be food at all of these tailgates. This will be a trail of food.
  Join in cheers and chants. Find where the band is playing before the game. Participate in the theatrical burning of a Jay-hawk if you’re in Wildcat country. Clown on the opposing team. Everybody’s doing it. The more you get into it, the more fun you’re going to have. Participation is key to a great time.
