Thank you,

1) Green Bay

2) Baltimore

3) San Diego

4) Denver

5) Cincinnati


This looks fun.

1.) Green Bay Packers

2.) Dallas Cowboys

3.) Baltimore Ravens

4.) Oakland Raiders

5.) Denver Broncos


Well since we agree on Green Bay, Baltimore and Denver let's just debate San Diego and Cincy -vs- Dallas and Oakland.

San Diego is clearly the better tailgating spot over Dallas and Oakland for several reasons, but I will emphasize the main reason. San Diego tailgaters have the hottest chicks in the least amount of clothing! They have wet T-Shirt contests during their tailgatng sessions! The food at a Charger tailgating session is simply amazing. The most popular Charger tailgate dish... surf and turf! Thats right steak and lobster - you can't beat that =)

Now Cincy, despite its teams losing record throughout the years, has made a name for itself as a tailgaters must experience. The bengals players themselves even join the tailgaters! Chad Johnson is known to walk around and sample the one of a kind Cincinnati chili and talk to the fans! Ocho Cinco actually did a TV interview while he was tailgting - he was tossing football with some young kids. Also, it is common to find large bonfires at a Bengal tailgate party during the cold months. Tailgaters roast german delicacies such as goetta dogs, bratts and metts. Hudy or who-dey beer is everywhere!

You already violated your own rules.

However, San Diego is CLEARLY over Dallas? Are you serious? Im not a person from TExas who is completely obsessed with our state, but there is nothing like some Texas Hospitality. I can honestly say there is nothing like a Dallas COwboys tailgate. Dallas tailgaters are obsessed with their team, as you can see on fannation. Texas has the best barbequeing Ive ever had. Its so rediculously good, theres no comparison. To say Charger's surf and terf is better than Texas's is also a stretch, seeing that Texas raises the best cattle in the world.

I really think you are strongly biased on the Cincy vs. Oakland arguement. Have you ever been to an Oakland Raider's game? ITS ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS! You mention Cincy being crazy despite a 7-9 season. THE RAIDERS ARE A WORSE TEAM AND ARE STILL BETTER TAILGATERS BY FAR. I think you just forgot to put Oakland on the list, but thats just what I think. They are historically the craziest fans, and definately some of the craziest tailgaters.


My apologies for not adhearing to the rules. As I started my previous arguement with "since we agree on Green Bay, Baltimore and Denver let's just debate San Diego and Cincy -vs- Dallas and Oakland" I guess I should have followed the rules anyways... my bad.

Now - your arguement that Dallas tailgaters are completely obsessed with their team applies to every tailgating venue. Every venue has COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS FANS and THE BEST TAILGATERS. Just by putting the letters in caps does not give me any tangible reason to think your cities are better then the ones I choose. Now the Dallas food is a point, but I would rather have surf and turf with hot chicks having wet t-shirt contests over slightly better bbq.

I am a homer, but I also looked some things up and felt I could argue Cincy well. And I did. The only arguement you have for Oakland in that they ARE COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS! I listed actual reasons why Cincy is better, players visiting tailgaters, named specific foods, specific games they play and they are they only team (to my knowledge) that allows bon-fires for roasting hot dogs, brats and metts. Simply by putting letters in CAPS does not give voters reason.


Since when does naming foods validate tailgating? Cowboy tailgating shows texas hospitality by bringing beer and food for more than themselves. Texas steaks, Texas BBQ, Texas briskets, Texas jalepeno hot dogs, hell, they even have Tex-Mex which is a combination of Texas's BBQ style with a Mexican food touch. Tex-Mex jalepeno tamales are amazing, and you cant forget about Texas chili. Forget huge brand brewers like Bud Light, the real dark beers can be seen at Cowboy tailgating like Lonestar and Tocate. Why not finish off a meal with some homemade Texas pecan pie? All of this should validate the cowboys atleast a spot on the top 5 tailgating teams. To say San Diago's tailgating is better than some Texas Cowboys tailgating is completely false. Surf and Terf? Are you kidding me? You can and get some California serf and terf while I go hit up some Texas steaks, texas chili, homemade pecan pie, and more.

I have been to many tailgates and had fun at most of them. Green bay was by far not the best I have been to. Cincinnati is off the hook (look at the whodeyfans.com site to see what I am talking about). KC was ok but the food was awesome.

Green Bay invented tailgating...we've perfected it to an art. Find me a stadium where the majority of complete strangers will invite you over for beer, food, and good times.

KC supposedly has but-kicking bbq. Unfortunately, I have no first-hand experience.

They do that here in Cincy. Its like one huge family - its great. I have been to many. I must say, the most disappinting was the Chicago experience. I guess I just had high expectations from the classic sat night live skits. San Fran was ok, but not great. Agreed about KC. Tailgating was Ok, but food was awesome. St Louis was actually a pretty good time. Cleveland fans are ruthless and by far the most intoxicated of the ones I have experienced. It pains me to say since they are a rival, but Baltimore was AWESOME... they know how to have a good time!

I have not been to Pitt - I am afraid as a Bengals fan I would not make it home alive.

KC does have really good BBQ. I went to a tailgating party a couple years back when the Texans played KC. KC bbq is really good, and even most of the KC fans went to the texan spots to get some food. and neither fans were being**** about one team being good and the other sucking. they both enjoyed some texas hospitality

i've been to many dallas games and the tailgating is absolutely non-existent. nothing like Lambeau, went this year and years before.

I think the difference between Dallas & GB is that in Dallas they do it, they just don't do it all over the parking lot. Probably only certain sections of the lot are known for its tailgating and thus you need to kind of know where they are. In GB though, its all over and impossible to not almost walk into a charcoal grill every 5 feet.

I could be wrong and I have no 1st hand experience of Dallas tailgating so feel free Dallas fans to correct me.

Actually, you can also get free food & beverages during baseball season down at Miller Park.

A lot of venues have designated tailgating lots. It is regulated by the team or the local police. Not to say that they still arent amazingly fun experiences, but it seems more of a "party like" atmosphere in a place like Green Bay or Cincy that people are practically tailgating in the streets! Denver has regulated tailgating lots by the team, but that also comes with some cool benefits such as the Broncos organization rewards weekly tailgater awards and special parking tickets. I am not sure how Dallas operates theirs.
