Tailgating Checklist



 

  Planning that upcoming tailgate can be an overwhelming challenge as you make sure there's enough food to feed the legions of NFL fans that will accompany you and the folks that decide to drop by when they find out you're headed to the stadium on Sunday morning.   Planning ahead for extra people can indeed be a challenge unto itself, but we usually try to have plenty of liquid refreshments on hand to satisfy the stragglers.  Each year, my family gathers in sleepy, out of the way, Orchard Park, NY to take in a Buffalo Bills game at Ralph Wilson Stadium.  Since 1995, we've been tailgating in the parking lots generally setting up shop in the RV lot to take advantage of the early start time.  Our Family weekend retreat kicks of on Saturday, so our supply of rations has to take us through several meals, but from our Tailgating checklist below, I'm sure you can formulate a list that suits your own individual requirements.

Use the list below as a guideline to assist you in your tailgating preparations.  I've tried to break up everything in reasonable categories, providing most football fans with a basic plan upon which to begin that necessary evil, the shopping list.  Good Luck!
