February 6, 2012 in Commentary, Featured

Tailgating Ideas Tailgating Digest LogosIf you are a regular reader and an RSS subscriber, you may have already noticed a few changes happening around here. If you are a brand new visitor and plan on returning soon, we wanted to let you know that more changes, big changes, are coming.

In the next few days you will notice that TailgatingIdeas.com will have a new look and will also have some new content. Cut to the chase, Tailgating Ideas will be partnering with a brand new magazine called Tailgating Digest.

Since starting this website back in 2007 in response to the lack of tailgating ideas and scarcity of general tailgating information out there on the web, we have striven to provide you the best content for tailgaters written by tailgaters themselves. When we were approached by the people behind starting Tailgating Digest, we were impressed with their passion and commitment to bringing the best tailgating information to the print medium as well as maintaining a high standard on the web.

Just because we have chosen to partner with Tailgating Digest doesn’t mean that you will miss any of the things you have come to enjoy about Tailgating Ideas. If you have us in your bookmarks, you won’t have to change anything. You will still be able to reach us by going to www.tailgatingideas.com. We will still continue to post tailgating product reviews, news aggregates, recipes, tailgating cartoons, humor pieces, tailgating videos and anything else we think tailgaters might enjoy. Even though the look and the feel of the website may be changing, the content and what you have come to expect from us will not.

As far as our partnership with Tailgating Digest goes, you will have the opportunity to not only sign up for a free copy of the digital edition of the magazine but you can enter to win cash in the Tailgating Digest $10,000 Giveaway! The digital edition of Tailgating Digest will include articles and opinion pieces written by real tailgaters with real tailgating experiences and knowledge. The articles you will find in Tailgating Digest will only be available in the magazine so subscribing is the best way to ensure you will be getting all the tailgating information you can handle. The content you will find in the magazine will have the same high standards you have come to know from us over the years on the web. No cutting and pasting of press releases. No stroke piece product reviews. And no selling out. All of the members of our writing staff have been invited to join the team of contributors for Tailgating Digest. Content in the magazine will be exclusive to the magazine and by subscribing to the digital edition, you will get that content for free.

Tailgating Digest will be a Bi-Monthly magazine launching in the spring with the focus on tailgating and the tailgate party lifestyle. Here is a look at the editorial focus of each upcoming issue of Tailgating Digest.

March/April – Basketball and NFL Draft
Basketball tailgating? See it to believe it! Plus, our readers tell us their favorite NFL draft picks!

May/June – Baseball
Tantalizing recipes shared by baseball tailgating fanatics! Plus, a peek at the big college lacrosse final tournaments.

July/August – Football Training Camp
Tailgaters take to the streets and nearby parking lots at football training camps! And, get out your green jacket… we’re going to tailgate at the Masters Golf Tournament!

September/October – Football
See the winning photos from our “Extreme Football Tailgaters” contest! Tailgating on ice?? A look at college hockey.

November/December – Football and Holiday Gift Guide
Cold weather football fan…atics! Plus, a holiday shopper’s guide of tailgating goodies to add to your wish list.

A great magazine and website is built on content. Both Tailgating Ideas and Tailgating Digest understand this ideal very well. Nobody wants rehashed content. You want fresh, unbiased and engaging content. We are committed to bringing this to the web and in magazine form.
