Tailgate parties in the parking lots both before, and after, the game are essential for the enjoyment of any NFL football competition: 1) Make someone the designated driver 2) For everyone else,bring lots of alcohol 3) Bring a portable, gas barbecue and at least five or six hotdogs and/or sausages for each person - don't forget the buns 4)Come at least 2 hours early to avoid the traffic jam During the game: 1)Dress in the colours of the team that you are supporting 2)Make sure that you bring something soft to sit on and a raincoat if it looks like inclement weather - in the winter,wear several layers of warm clothing (it can get very cold if the stadium does not have a roof) Before you leave the house, double-check to make sure that you have the tickets(unless you intend to buy some from scalpers). Try not to get into any fistfights. You should be all set :-)

1. Access the stadium's website for rules/regulations applicable to that particular stadium. For example: some stadiums will not let ladies bring in purses larger than 12 x 12, other's prohibit food or drinks brought in etc. 2. Wear team colored clothing 3. Bring/wear extra clothing in case of inclimate weather 4. Bring cash as vendors etc. will not take credit cards in the stands. 5. Check in with guest services for the designated driver program- most give a free non-alcoholic drink voucher. 6. Check when parking for the location of where you parked your car. (Sounds silly but comes in handy!!)
