When you are tailgating at a concert or sporting event, ensure you'll have the best time by coming prepared. Tailgating is all about creature comforts, so dress comfortably, bring portable chairs, and have plenty of food and beverages. Time-honored tailgating staples include barbecues and grilling meats like kielbasa, sausage and hamburger. Arrive early, three to four hours before game time at least, and be prepared to make friends. Tailgating is a very communal activity, so have some extra food and drink on hand to offer your temporary neighbors.
