Ranking All 32 NFL Teams For Tailgating
November 19, 2007 in Tailgating Ideas
Earlier this month Sports Illustrated rated the game day atmosphere for all 32 NFL franchises using a litany of criteria to determine the best experience in the National Football League. SI graded each team and its city based on seven criteria; ticket prices and availability, food and souvenirs, stadium accessibility, the team’s 2007 performance, the neighborhood of the stadium, overall stadium atmosphere and of course tailgating. Each category was judged on a scale of one to 10. Based on the above mentioned criteria, The Green Bay Packers graded out on top racking up a final score of 54 out of a possible 70. That’s all well and good but we here at TailgatingIdeas.com only care about the tailgating experience. Hard core tailgaters don’t mind if their team is not doing so well or the costs of a souvenir inside the stadium. True tailgaters care about three things: parking costs, stadium accessibility and the overall tailgating atmosphere. We have taken the time to reevaluate the rankings and have tossed out the meaningless criteria that does not apply to the tailgater. With a maximum score of 20 available, will Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packers still come out on top? The results may surprise you.

Think tailgating is just reserved for American sports fans and concert goers? Think again. A recent study conducted by Toronto-based Leger Marketing and funded by Weber Grills reported some interesting statistics when it comes to tailgating in Canada. Not surprisingly, Canadians love tailgating just as much as their American counterparts.
