Yep, you summed it up correctly. Food, fun, drinking with friends.

[@Snipergoat1]

And eventually you might even go watch a football game, maybe.

[@JasonMoir]

Tailgating at college football is even better.

[@BM-hb2mr]

A 100% more better.They play harder and the people.Their college games in the parking lot are much much much nicer everybody gets along

[@BM-hb2mr]

Plus you won't have the WHOKENESS. NFL has went to ish because of the pandering and whokeness

[@jacobac07]

Truth!

[@anthonysalomone3698]

You gave the perfect description of tailgate!

[@RebelAngelkiller62]

Tailgating doesn't just happen at football games, it also happens at many concerts, music festivals, and other activities. I went to an outdoor blues festival in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. People were going back and fourth between watching the concert to walking back into the parkinglot to party/tailgate and listen to the concert from the parking lot. Many people never went in, they just enjoy tailgating.

[@marieneu264]

My kids go to a catholic high school and it’s completely normal for parents to tailgate before all kinds of school events.

[@vegas7027]

It always amazes me how surprised people from other countries, especially Europe, are about how welcoming and warm-hearted Americans are as a whole to strangers. It makes me wonder how foreign media/press portrays us. I can understand that if they are from an adversarial country but not a friendly one.

[@JJVPYOU]

Is not how the foreign media portraits us, is more that the act of being friendly, starting conversations, and being welcomed into the group by total strangers is not the way most Europeans act. That comment is almost universal among Europeans that come to the States. Chit chating and starting conversations with total strangers is not something Europeans do.

[@jgnauman22]

Very true. I've been to various countries in Europe over the years and the only time I really made any friends there was when I lived in Germany for 3 years, and it still took a while with them. Interesting though, I went to Russia a while back and made immediate friends with a gang of people that were very accommodating. It's really interesting to travel and experience all kinds of different cultures.

[@vegas7027]

@@JJVPYOU That's a very good point and very true. However, I have been in other countries as well and seen the media and even news outlets really exaggerate American stereotypes. Sometimes it's done with no harm intended and then a few definitely had an agenda. Fortunately, things like KZbin can do a lot of good to dispel those myths from all countries. 😃I love learning and there are some great creators out there that do a wonderful job bridging people together. Sadly, our own media sometimes does a horrible job of perpetuating stereotypes. Have a great weekend!

[@Boodieman72]

That's the same for most countries.

Tailgate parties at stadiums are a ton of fun. 💜💜💜

[@nochannel1q2321]

If you're using Solo cups, an especially helpful thing to note is that the indentations on the side of the cup have meanings as measurements. The bottom-most is a shot. The middle is a standard wineglass and the upper is a pint of beer.

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. Which is usually the last Thursday, but if November starts on a Wednesday or Thursday there will be five Thursdays in the month.

[@Big_Tex]

Finally someone got that right lol.

[@sallyperrie3007]

I threw a thanksgiving in cheltenham england at my then boyfriends house. I had to ship some stuff and I cooked for 3 days and I think we had about a dozen people. 1st they expected me to have some kind of “meltdown” lol. I then was questioned about what we did on thanksgiving and I told them we had house parties with food and either games after or a walk outside and then kept asking me about gifts. They were so surprised that we didn’t exchange gifts and I told them it wasn’t about that. It was just one day a year that we gathered with family and friends and were thankful. At the end they were talking amongst themselves that. They should have Thanksgiving. Pretty interesting.

[@stevenrpagano]

My favorite tailgate places: college games, especially colleges from the SEC (Southeast Conference) and Big Ten, with full props going to the Big 12. Thanksgiving in the US is always the fourth Thursday of November. Here in Georgia you can still have nice warm days, usually 18-25 C, but in much of the country it can be very cold, even snowy.

[@darcyjorgensen5808]

Tailgating is an excuse for a football game. You MUST go to a college football game; best food will be at an SEC game. My last tailgate party was at the GA-FL game, also known as the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Ole Miss is also renowned for its tailgating.

[@jamesrawlins735]

I think Ole Miss is one of the two best tailgating experiences in College Football (the other is Notre Dame - but I do agree the food is better at Oxford.) I used to think Lambeau Field was the best tailgating in America, but a few years ago I went to Atlanta and they really know how to cater to tailgaters - you can even get tents, tvs and even catering services to boost the experience.

[@robertraynor7594]

@@jamesrawlins735 I think the best food would be at LSU, and I say that as someone from Mississippi .

[@brentor90]

Pretty cool, thought it would show more of the different foods though. But tailgating has a way of bringing the fans of opposing teams together.

[@Outlawjumptfoff]

Thanksgiving is a beautiful holiday, love celebrating and all the get togethers. It's constant family wknds till after New year's best time of the year

[@markmitchell457]

Do you know what the lines on a Solo cup mean? The 1st line is 1 ounce for shots. The 2nd line is 5 oz which is a normal glass of wine The 3rd line 12 oz. Thats a normal beer serving. Now you know.

[@calvaryscout916]

The Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions always play games on Thanksgiving, it's a NFL tradition.

[@markpekel4517]

Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November. The NFL plays a few football games in London each season.

[@100fedup5]

Its not Dallas, Its Arlington Texas and I live about a half a mile away!

[@jamesrawlins735]

Tailgating at a Cowboys game is almost surreal. Whatever you think about Jerry, he definitely knows about fan service (now, if we could just get him out of the front office....) Still, I think Atlanta might have it beat with their tailgating services...

When you two do go to a tailgate and a game, do college not pro. I know you'll like it better because pro teams don't have marching bands. Colleges do and I know you like that a lot .

[@darkerbrother1]

There are pro teams with Marching Bands. The Ravens have a Marching Band. In fact Ravens Tailgating is off the hook because the stadium is near residential neighborhoods so the tailgating spills over into the neighborhoods just like college. There is live music and everything

[@michaelward5302]

@@darkerbrother1 Ok, I stand corrected, but you're still comparing it to college because it's better.

[@zaffora]

USA Thanksgiving is ALWAYS the last Thursday in November. That time of the year is also very close to the end of the season for American football teams

[@Big_Tex]

Wrong it’s the 4th Thursday in November. There would be a 5th Thursday if the month starts on a Wednesday or Thursday.

[@ClarkJ2265]

Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November. There are just a couple NFL games on T’give so tailgating on that day may be a little different than the usual as there would be more T’give themed food. It also helps to know people to meet up with.

[@randieandjodistrom854]

I'm living at my 36th address in places all over the world, including 14 different states in the United States. What I want to say is--hey folks, it's not a competition!

[@CCoburn3]

Come to Tennessee in the fall. You can attend the Jack Daniels' World Championship Invitational Barbeque, a college football game, and an NFL game. It would have to be next year because the Barbeque Championship is next weekend (11-12 October).

[@trishlarocca]

It's the same at NASCAR. Tailgating and camping out.

[@guyfaux3978]

I wish I could steer you to the video, but it was one with Robbie Coltrane driving across the US and at one stop, he's in a small town where the local HS is having their Homecoming Weekend, and all the parade/pep rally/tailgate/hoopla that goes along with the gridiron game that's played that weekend. Coltrane said he loved everything about such American football carryings-on, except the game-- to him it looked like rugby league played in fits and starts. (PS, the Dallas Cowboys are ALWAYS at home on Thanksgiving, the second game of a nationally televised tripleheader.)

[@danor6812]

Tailgating isn't celebrating your favorite team. It's partying with the other fans of your team. Everyone is there for the game, but it's the fun before the game that makes it great.

[@darkerbrother1]

Millie, Just so you know. Tailgating isn’t just limited to Football. People tailgate at most outdoor sports. For some of us . We go tailgating and never go into the stadium 🏟️. We will run a big screen tv and watch the game while constantly eating and hanging out.

You do your tailgate to fill up on food and booze in the parking lot before you go into the stadium and have to pay $10-15 per beer/hot dog. You're sober by the time the game is over. Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City is iconic for the tailgating, the Chiefs are the current league Champions and the stadium is a top tier experience for seeing a game. Holds the Guinness Book World Record for the Loudest Outdoor Stadium in the world at 142.2 Decibels of crowd noise. Chiefs Kingdom would be happy to have you ♥️💛

[@protorhinocerator142]

I've never heard it called tailgating. Tailgating is when you follow someone too closely on the road. A tailgate party is when you park in the parking lot at a sporting event and have food, tons of beer, etc.

[@jsamuelsen]

The game with 3 holes we call holey board. It might be something different in other parts of the country. We would play with large washers just smaller than the holes.

[@paulayala4816]

Tailgating is taken very seriously here. My buddy is a big Angels fan, and he's stake out a spot under the Big A sign with his 40' RV. Food wise it usually shredded BBQ beef brisket (for sandwiches), fried chicken, cheesy potatos, potato salad, macaroni salad, salad, apple pie and some other desserts. It's easier to either make the food ahead of time or have it made for us, haul it in the RV and heated up out there. We used to BBQ put it takes longer, and inevitably the cook would get drunk and the food would get burned.

[@cypher515]

I'm definitely biased here but in the pro ranks, the tailgating experience in Buffalo is well known for being out of this world. Which makes it so annoying that it was raining just hard enough before the game I went to that my cousin (a longtime Buffalo resident) didn't want to partake in the festivities, and come to think of it, I couldn't blame her. In a scale you'd be most familiar with the temperature was between 0 and 1 Celsius before the game; when it dropped below freezing and the rain turned into snow it was a marked improvement. I mean I loved it but your mileage may vary.

[@med0747]

If from and live in Kansas City, Missouri, so I'm a little biased, but my opinion, Arrowhead, where the Chiefs play, is by far the best stadium for tailgating. Admittedly, I've only been to Candlestick when the 49ers still played there and the Oakland Colliseum, so I don't have much to compare it to. Here's just a few reasons to come to Kansas City: Our barbeque is amazing, every game sells out, Arrowhead is the loudest outdoor stadium in the world, the Chiefs have been in to 6 straight AFC Championship games, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and yes Taylor Swift comes to pretty much every home game. Plus, Whiteman AFB is about 40 minutes away, and that's where the B-2 bombers are based so you might see a flyover by the stealth bomber. I have 4 season tickets on the Chiefs side wround the 30 yardline halfway between the field and Travis Kelce's suite. You guys are welcome to use my tickets if you want to go to a game. James and Millie will never read this, so I won't have to worry about missing a game.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

We used to play Quarters a lot growing up!!! You have to bounce a quarter off the table and into the glass. If you make it you get to pick who drinks. I usually pick myself at the beginning of the Game!!! You dont want to seem like you're picking on one person or everyone will pick you to drink every time!!! As you can imagine that person ends up trashed very quickly.

[@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817]

You don't need to experience tailgating in America personally, all it takes is viewing videos like this or talking to people who have experienced it, to recreate the same thing in your own country. You need to be the agent of change to start the ball rolling. Quit living vicariously through us (America), learn the lessons and implement them yourselves. Nothing is holding you back but yourselves.

[@guyfaux3978]

You would need to find a stadium that has a parking lot, which many English stadiums do not. The drinking is done at the pubs closest to the grounds. Think, trying to do a tailgate at Wrigley Field and you'll get the idea of how difficult it would be.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

Tailgating food is nothing to shake your head out. It's actually pretty top notch stuff. And it revolves around BBQ mostly. And no, I don't mean grilled foods.

You cant beat a good tailgate party!!! Some people who dont have tickets will sit in the parking lot and someone always brings a big screen TV and they just hang out in the parking lot to watch the game.

[@JS-TexanJeff]

Go to any southern college game for the tailgating experience (SEC conference). For NFL, I would pick a northern or north eastern team (Packers, Bears, Philly, etc). I'm saying this as a Dallas fan....they do it better up there. But college experience is #1.

[@robertwoods3750]

hi, i"m from texas and i thought i"d tell you how tailgate parties started and what they were originally intended to be , as you well know foods and drinks are pretty expensive in the stadium , so some intelligent people thought they would just bring their own foods and drinks , since you cannot go inside with them , they would get to the game in plenty of time to eat and drink in the parking lot before going in, Americans being ever resourceful started bringing their own b-b-que grills to make a "meal" and party of it before going in , others saw and started doing it too, soon we have complete strangers with nothing more in common than the love of the game stopping and chatting and being invited to a meal or a beer , wah la --tailgate parties were born, now they've become a lil" bit commercialized and that saddens me a lot , gone is the spontaneity of making friends out of complete strangers and jus sharing a beer and whatever for the love of the game and meeting others who share your passion , and nothing to do with profit .

[@stevepeck7223]

Nothing against James but, it's nice to see Millie do a video on her own! Well done Millie. 🙂

[@Do0msday]

The best thing about tailgating is that every team/area has their own unique foods/traditions. For instance, in Buffalo you have the insane Bills Mafia who will jump through tables that were set on fire (seriously). And then in places like KC, Texas, etc you can get some great BBQ. Come to a Giants or Jets game and be prepared to try different types of lasagnas and other Italian food. Each place has something unique, but something everyone has in common is getting absolutely plastered before you even get into the Stadium haha.

[@joannetompkins7833]

[@jamesrawlins735]

I will say most foreign countries put Americans to shame inside sports stadiums and arenas. The cheering, organized fans - we are lazy compared to them. BUT - OUTSIDE the stadium there's no comparison. Tailgating is the absolute best thing about sports, and nothing is better than tailgating at a college football game.

[@Nimbus1701]

Tailgating is great. If I had to choose just one, I'd say college football. It happens at most colleges, but is even bigger during rivalry games. I'm from Texas, so I favor the south, but I'm also more familiar with the foods, people and general environment. Some the SEC is very well known for tailgating. Generally, it is pretty similar, and is a big community party. The main differences is going to be some foods (depending on regions), certain traditions (based on the schools and games), and probably the weather. It gets colder, faster in the north and east of the country. Pro football games also have a great environment, and Dallas and Detroit always host Thanksgiving games, and they do actually serve traditional Thanksgiving food. NASCAR is also well known for its tailgating environment. I have never been to a NASCAR tailgate, so I can only speak based on reputation and people I've known that have attended. I have briefly attended a Dallas Cowboys (pro team) tailgate, but didn't get to stay long because of an unexpected emergency that occurred with the group I was with. You'll find almost everyone passionate about their team (so it gets loud and rowdy, but in a good way), you'll find generosity and kindness and friendliness of American people, and they'll be curious about your country and your experiences, and you'll find it almost like a semi-carnival experience, where you walk around and see different groups, with different foods, games, etc. It is something most of us do any chance we get. It makes the actual sporting event even bigger and more immersive.

[@Ennoenno02]

You had me at the beginning but damn I ain't reading all that 😂😂. But whatever you said I agree with you aha. Tailgating is the best

[@user-gk9lg5sp4y]

While this kind of Thanksgiving is great fun, the spirit of the day is a more family oriented day of being thankful for what we have. Then eating way too much, arguing with idiot relatives, and watching football on TV with your pants unbuttoned, trying not to pass out.

[@Hayseo]

Yes, that was corn hole. I have been tailgating with my friends since I was in college 40 years ago. To me the game is secondary to the tailgating party.

[@yugioht42]

Actually everyone’s menu is different and often it depends on who is playing who. One person actually creates a menu based on smashing two signature foods together into a new dish. It pokes fun at the opponent in a good way. Tailgating is tradition at every college and professional team. You set up with a few tvs to watch the game, coolers of cold drinks and lots of food that will be shared around. People often park RVs because it’s easier to cook and store things when everything is done. New York City it’s not exactly illegal more like it frowned upon as space is a major factor.

It's good to see her have a good time. I've watched a few of her videos and usually she's really confused about the reasons things are as they are in the US. Then she takes it in a negative light because things are different and confusing her. I've always thought she needed more time with Americans and she would get the meaning behind differences then she'd be able to relax and enjoy with the stress of her confusion finally removed.

Hi

[@GPinAtlantaIN]

Despite what this video shows, not all Americans feel a need to pray in public to tell God, “Thank you for blessing me with alcohol and money and success and sports!” Some of us just go out to eat, and some of us just drink. Some of us are successful and some of us maybe not so much. But none of the above always involves prayer in public. Not all Americans think it is impressive to pray in public.
