Tailgation is shorthand for “Tailgate Nation.” Tailgations are communities of sports fans who congregate in the parking lots of American professional and college sports arenas. They erect tents and fire up barbecues, haul out portable beer pong tables and toss sad bags into little targets….all hours before a major sporting event. Deep South Tailgations, typically seen at SEC football games feature high-end RV’s, HD television screens and lots of fried chicken. Tailgations are defined by the activities and traditions held sacred by any tailgater: among them, BBQ, beer, games, and community. Tailgations grow organically, with traditions being passed down from one generation to the next.

As a faithful member of the Ravens tailgation, I’m proud to paint my face purple and join my friends every Sunday morning for crab cakes and Budweiser.

Person A: Did you see that fucking ape that was tailgating me the entire way here even though I was going 70 mph?!?

2.
I can't find a damn parking spot because so many are taken by tailgaters! If they're gonna watch the game on a TV why not just do it at home?!!?

Revolving around a professional, college or even high school football game, tailgating is a supercharged, urban picnic party. Participants prepare food, drink, bring flags and other football team paraphernalia. Tailgaters congregate around the car, listen to the game on the radio, enjoy the food and bond.
