Top 5 Best Football Tailgating Cities
As the NFL Football season starts today I thought it would be appropriate to look at some of the better tailgate party towns the NFL has to offer. As many football fans know, tailgating is as much apart of the game as Touchdown celebrations, bad calls, or watching your favorite team in the stands with no shirt on in sub zero temperatures. Remember you don’t have to live in the city to enjoy these parking lot BBQ’s, each on of the fallow towns has great inns for you to stay at.
Green Bay – Lambeau Field
Bring the Bratwursts to this small town atmosphere, The Green Bay Packers sport some of the most loyal fans in all of athletics. You will be inundated with the Green and Gold of the teams colors as 60,000 “Cheese Head” fans pack (no pun intended) the stadium. Lambeau Field is a must on any tailgate tour.

Kansas City – Arrow Head Stadium
While the Kansas City Chiefs might have fallen on hard times the tailgating loyalist have not. BBQ, ribs, chicken, if you can smoke it KC fans will make it, eat it, and it will taste great. There is always something to do here.
Cleveland - Cleveland Browns Stadium
Welcome to the Dog Pound, Cleveland is a great beer town and you will not miss out on the great micro brews. The atmosphere is fun and the fans are great.
Pittsburgh – Heinz Field
The Pittsburgh Steelers last years Super Bowl Champions and one great city to tailgate in (just don’t wear the opposing teams jersey) enjoy some Brats with some Iron City Beer while you chat it up with the local fans. When you are not tailgating, Pittsburgh offers some great things to do in the city. Unique foods like a Garbage Can Sandwich, one of the biggest things between two peaces of bread you will ever see. If your are looking for other things to do try some of the local shopping or one of the many museums like the Andy Warhol Museum located in Downtown Pittsburgh.
Denver – Invesco Field
Sitting a mile high from sea level Invesco Field the home of the Denver Broncos is one of the up and coming tailgating spots. Try great Mexican Food , one the many fine restaurants, then wash it down with some of the counties best mirco brews. Denver offers a chance to do some amazing skiing too, just a few hours from Aspen, complete your trip by hitting the slops.

For me, eating grilled food in the autumn air while anticipating the spectacle of grown men in tights is one of my favorite fall pastimes. Washing these grilled delights down with an ice cold Iron City, Rolling Rock (before they were bought out by Anheuser Bush), or Straub beer (no sugar added!) completes the perfect football outing for me.
Wearing an opposing team’s jersey to a Steelers tailgate? No fear, this is NOT Philadelphia. You’ll surely get some good hearted ribbing, but nothing to be too alarmed about.
