There’s only one more thing to count down to now that the school year has started. Classes are already underway, and student orgs are meeting up again, so that only leaves one thing: tailgating season and football. The first game of the season is on September 3, and the campus is excited after last year’s fantastic season. Even though the game is a few days away, there is still time to get everything together for the perfect Saturday afternoon tailgate.
1. Great food
Whether it’s burgers, chili, ribs or hot dogs, there’s an endless supply of great food at any good tailgate. P.S. Calories totally don’t count at tailgates.
2. Cute outfits
Showing your Iowa spirit through your clothing is one of the best ways to do so. There’s no lack of black and gold in Iowa City, so it’s all about who can wear it the craziest and the best.
3. Fun games
Let’s be serious here: playing games takes up a lot of time at tailgates, but they’re most of the fun. With friends or with family, winning isn’t the most important thing — although bragging rights are pretty awesome.
