Which NFL team has the best tailgate parties? I personally think Detroit does a great job, what do the numbers say?
Betway has put together a study to find out which NFL teams and cities have the best tailgates. “A major tradition before any big game, there’s nothing quite like a tailgate party,” they state. “Pulling up in the parking lot with a trunk full of ice-chests and portable BBQs, there’s an atmosphere that’s like no other. Not only are tailgate parties a great way to get hyped before the game, they’re also a way to meet fans, make friends, and enjoy some good, old-fashioned socializing.”
But which NFL team is the most popular at tailgating? No. 1 is the Buffalo Bills. What’s cool, though, is that Detroit made the top 10, coming in right at No. 10! Find the full list here.
