Tailgate Mania

Over the years sports fans have been drawn to the parking lot for pre-game festivities known as the TAILGATE PARTY. Traditionally this consisted of snacks and a few drinks before heading in to the stadium, but this has been taken to a whole new level over the past few years.

Tailgating today has grown into a sport of it's own! No longer a small group of die hard fans gathering before the big game, the true tailgater is concerned as much about the pre-game party as they are about the big game. From outrageous food to plasma screens and tailgate gadgets, today's tailgate party has something for everyone. Visit any major sporting event and this is evident. Both ends of the spectrum are represented, the wine and cheese crowd with table cloths and fancy food to the party animal with a huge smoker grill and an RV that costs considerably more than most houses.

Store owners are taking advantage of the ever increasing number of tailgaters. In 2006 the first ever Tailgate Product Trade Show was hosted at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Manufacturers gathered to demonstrate to major US retailers that their products were perfect for parking lot parties. In addition to the extreme products, motorized coolers and team logo hammock chairs, traditional outdoor merchandise was also represented.
