Biggest Party in the NFC North

Our good pal Jeff Tuttle was scheduled to play this week's tailgate party, but has come down with a mysterious Mexican respiratory voodoo infection. We've placed him on the PUP list and he'll hopefully be feeling better and back playing the tailgate later this season.

We'd like to thank the mighty HELICON for stepping in on such short notice. I can guarantee they're going to rock your socks off and into next year's dirty laundry. We'll probably have to find a new parking lot to tailgate in after this one... it'll be hard to tailgate in a smoking crater.

Special Guest Surprise?
You never know who's going to show up at a DetroitTailgate.com party. All we can say is that if you missed the last tailgate, you'll want to get to this one.

Lock the dog in a closet, put the kids on a leash, give grandma a bottle of Jack and get to the party. We're putting Detroit tailgating back on the map one beer at a time.

Welcome Tailgaters to Lot 1
A warm welcome to the MLive.com tailgaters, the Lions-Fans.com tailgaters, and the US Tailgating Association bus will be in the lot on their tour stop. We welcome Jerry's merry band will also be joining us. Add that to the Tubgaters, Gary and the little blue bus, the Lions Nation Tailgaters and the Lions Country tailgaters. Mix in a bunch of delusional, greasy Bears fans and it's going to be a helluva day.

Talk Some Smack
In the mean time, go talk trash on the Chicago Bears Rivals message board.

Next Tailgate: Jeff Tuttle

DetroitTailgate.com proud to welcome Detroit Music Award nominee, Jeff Tuttle, to the tailgate party. Jeff's brand of classic country music is the definition of beer-drinking-music.

The season has just begun, and there's much more fun to be had. We may even have another special guest or two to get you fired-up before the game. You never know who might show up. So get your beer stein and we'll see you at 9:00 am in Tailgating Lot 1.

And, in case you missed it, there's a new video on the front page of the website. Check it out.

ATTENTION BEAR FANS:
If you've ever wondered what we drink in Detroit, the answer is Atwater Block Brewery beer. It's available in Chicago, too. Go get you some.

We welcome all fans at DetroitTailgate.com. Stop by and say hi, before you suffer that embarrassing loss to the Lions.

And remember. Drink responsibly. Drink local beer.

It's official. The Lions are undefeated when Hide From Cleo plays the tailgate party! And Theo "Gridiron" Spight made sure the Lions' faithful were fired-up and ready for the game. We can't thank HFC, Theo, and everyone who works so hard to throw a great party, enough.
