The All-American Tailgate Experience

Tailgating

Tailgating before a big football game is a true American experience. It doesn’t matter which team you’re cheering for, when you see someone with your team’s colors, you’ve upgraded from strangers to friends–maybe even family. Atlanta Tailgates have a way of breaking the stranger barrier and building a friendship with everyone you meet. Regardless of your tailgate tradition, you can build a community over the excitement for your team, and you’ll be ready to tackle everything your tailgate has to offer. Here are a few tips to make sure your tailgate is a crowd favorite.

Step 1: Tailgate Music
The first step of hosting a successful tailgate is having the perfect music. While different crowds prefer different types of music, you can never go wrong with a classic rock genre. Songs by artists like Guns & Roses, Queen, and AC/DC are sure to get your crowd excited, singing, and ready for the game. Make sure you have a playlist ready to go, an aux cord, and a portable speaker. If you need to, you can adjust to the crowd’s preferences by using YouTube or a Spotify or Pandora station. Once you have the music handled, you can start preparing tailgate games.

Step 2: Tailgate Games
Prep your tailgate with a few simple games so your football pre-game is fun and exciting. First and foremost, you can’t have a tailgate without cornhole. You can purchase cornhole boards at a local store or even make them yourself. When making your own cornhole boards, you can decorate them with team colors–a good way to show your team spirit. If you’re feeling adventurous, try using footballs instead of sandbags for your cornhole game to add some competition. According to your crowd, you can even play your own football game or beer pong, making sure your friends and family enjoy themselves.

Step 3: Tailgate Food
Atlanta’s favorite part of the tailgate experience is the food and drink selection. While typical tailgate choices of burgers, hotdogs, chips and dip, beer, and other beverages are great, it’s nice to try something new every once in awhile. Tex-Mex food is always a tasty option for lunch and dinner. Grab some tacos on your way to the game at one of Twisted Taco’s many locations. Here, you’ll find a variety of tailgate foods to choose from, including burgers, sandwiches, and over 20 mouthwatering tacos. Enjoy your food before the game on Twisted Taco’s rooftop patio and bar in Alpharetta. Choose from ten plus margarita flavors or pick from the huge draft beer selection.

Twisted Taco strives to be a family friendly environment perfect for social gatherings. Take advantage of Taco Tuesday where tacos are available at a discounted price and Funday Sunday where kids eat for an affordable amount per paid adult entry. Visit one of Twisted Taco’s Metro-Atlanta locations located in Alpharetta,  Fayetteville, and Johns Creek today.
