Have guests get in the game with a potluck tailgate party! Ask each guest to bring their tastiest tailgating treat and have a spread that's worthy of the Tailgating Hall of Fame! Keep track of each guest's sporty snack to be sure that there are lots of different tastes to choose from! Don't have tickets to the big game? Don't worry! Throw a tailgate party in your own backyard! Invite friends over several hours before the game and display your team colors in the backyard! Barbecue or cook up some game winning chili to get guests fired up! Then, head inside to watch the game on TV - or set up an entertainment center outdoors! It's just like being at the game - without the long line at the concession stand! As long as you're tailgating in the backyard, why not have your own game too?!? Toss around the ol' pigskin with your buddies - and don't forget the cheerleaders! If some guests don't want to hit the field, load them up with pom-poms, clappers and megaphones - in your favorite team colors, of course - and let them cheer you on! Be sure to visit the Party City website for valuable tailgating tips if you're traveling to a game! If you're meeting your friends at the stadium, don't forget to include a meeting spot on your invitations so all your guests will know where to find you! Go team!
