Keep in mind that you want foods that can be eaten out of hand or with as few utensils as possible. This keeps down the trash and clean-up factor, and will not require seating arrangements.
The featured tailgate party recipes include a variety of foods suitable for a picnic in the parking lot of your favorite stadium or any picnic location, including your family room. If you decide to spike your drinks, be sure to have a designated driver and be sure it is permitted in the stadium parking lot.
