Baseball

When you think of tailgating, you most likely think of football. But tailgating for baseball is just as fun. The weather is warmer and you get to spend more time outdoors before the big game! Here are some tips for making the most out of your baseball tailgating experience.

  • Make a list of what you need to bring to the tailgate. Don't forget to put your game tickets on the list!
  • Bring your food in zip-lock bags if possible. This way you can throw the bags out instead of cleaning containers.
  • Bring chairs. Rookie tailgaters never have them!
  • Choose a parking lot (and space) that allows you to interact with other tailgaters.
  • Freeze water bottles and use them as the "ice" in your cooler.
  • Wear team colors and fly team flags.
  • Don't forget! Water, trash bags, paper towels, wet naps, a kitchen knife, bottle or can opener.
