Football season is coming up soon, which means that fans will be gathering at stadiums across the country hours before games. Thousands of fans love to tailgate in the parking lot before games and swap food, beer, and stories with fellow fans. Many cities have a reputation for turning tailgating into an art form. These are some of the top NFL stadiums for tailgating.

Buffalo

Fans in Buffalo love to throw a party in the parking lot. They also have the NFL’s largest indoor tailgating parties at the ADPRO Sports Training Center. If you head to the Ralph Wilson Stadium for a game, be sure to get there early to hang out in the parking lot for games, prizes, and entertainment that are fun for the whole family. You can also see some interesting ways of cooking food. Ken “Pinto Ron” Johnson is known for grilling meat on the hood of his 1989 Ford Pinto, making pizza in a filing cabinet, and cooking wings in a mailbox.

Baltimore

If you are a Baltimore Ravens fan, you are in for fun if you go tailgating at M&T Bank Stadium. You can play games such as Cornhole and Ladder Ball and participate in a “Ray Lewis Entrance” dance-off. If you are the partying type, go to Lot G or H. For a more family-friendly atmosphere, head over to Ravens Walk near Lots B and C. You can take in pre-game entertainment and sample crab cakes and beer.

Kansas City

If you love bacon, the parking lot at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City is the ideal place to tailgate. You can sample practically any food you can imagine wrapped in bacon before watching the Chiefs play. People come to sample the delicious food and make new friends. With 25,000 spaces in the parking lot, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a place to set up your grill.

Houston

Texas is famous for BBQ, and Houston Texans fans do it right at NRG Stadium. You can try brisket, ribs, or sausage and compete to be named Tailgater of the Game or Tailgater of the Year. Be warned: some groups spend over $10,000 per game to compete for the titles.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia Eagles fans take tailgating seriously at Lincoln Financial Field. The Football Shuttle, a converted school bus, is a fixture at the Wells Fargo Center parking lot across from Lincoln Field. Tailgaters name their groups and create t-shirts. Devoted fans grill and play a drinking game called Shotgun Shotgun, often for several years in a row. The Wells Fargo Center is a prime location for tailgating.
