While the fall American football season has arrived, the unfortunate reality is that most of us won’t be able to attend a game this year due to the ongoing global pandemic. This is bad enough in itself, but when you remember the fun that can be had while tailgating before a game—it gets even worse!
But don’t despair! You can recreate this social and gastronomic activity in the comfort of your own home. Here’s how.
Set Up an Outdoor Seating Area
One of the best parts of tailgating is sitting outside while enjoying a cold drink—so you should recreate this at home. Use your yard to set up some comfortable chairs—and if it’s chilly out, a nice campfire might even be worth making!
Fire Up the Grill
Grilling is the hallmark of a tailgate, from steaks to ribs to vegetables and anything in between. Get your best charcoal or gas grill out and make grillable favorites for any of your friends and/or family that will be attending your home tailgate!
Bring Your TV Outside!
Tailgates are normally confined to the hours before a football game, but if there’s one thing you can take as a positive from the current situation—now you can keep grilling and drinking as you watch the game! Just bring your TV outside and let all of that cooking and eating fun continue.
