Tailgating for Two

© Amy Cunningham, Editor

Football is upon us once again. As the fall breeze rides through the air, men everywhere turn their attention to the weekend games. According to recent studies, men tend to view any activity that you do together as a date. So, instead of becomming a football widow (or turning your sweetie into one!) this year, try turning 'date night' into a fun and romantic afternoon at the big game!
Hop on over to ticketmaster.com or to the official team website (unless you're already season ticket holders).


It's not a tailgate without the food. The goal here is to combine traditional tailgating food with romantic overtones. You could try traditional bbq with gourmet buns and wine or burgers with gourmet cheeses. If you really want to make it romantic, bring along a few candles.

For cooler climates, try some warm comfort food:
- Chili
- Corn bread
- Your favorite beer

If you're in the festive food, go with some Mexican flair:
- Quesadillas
- Chips & salsa
- Margaritas

If you're going for the ultimate in game-day romance, try something a little more sophisticated:
- Crackers & cheese
- Fruit
- Delictable sandwiches
- Your favorite wine


Sure, you know the traditional supplies: chairs, food, cooking gear, fan stuff. Seeing how this week's big game is a big date though, we're going to romantisize your gear.
