For many, tailgating is a tradition that spans across multiple generations. Tailgating is such a phenomenon in both the NFL and Collegiate leagues that National Tailgating Day (September 3, 2016) has been designated as the first Saturday in September each year. And it's competitive there's even a National Collegiate Tailgating Championship (NCTC) organization, "Where Fans Meet to Compete" that sponsors an annual contest for the best tailgating crew.

Fans from all over the country and even abroad, have been known to drive, fly and travel across many state lines just to make it to their favorite team games. From outfitting an SUV, truck or other vehicle of choice, to preparing those must-have favorite foods, or multi-course menus that would impress any culinary enthusiast, even to the design and set up of their "tailgate scape" family, friends and fans alike can enjoy this treasured sport with a healthy dose of team spirit.
