So, there's a rumor going around the country that Detroit doesn't tailgate. The city is dangerous and dirty. There's nowhere to tailgate. The Lions fans are soft and have no passion.
We're setting the record straight. Detroit is an industrious and innovative city and the people who live here know how to get the job done while having a good time doing it. We tailgate here. Oh, yes. Industrial-strength tailgating. Character is big in Detroit, and if you don't fly right, we don't need you around.
We want to see photos, videos and stories from your kickass tailgate parties from around the city so we can post them and show the world just how it's done here in the Motor City. So get off your duff, dust off the keyboard, and SEND YOUR PHOTOS HERE!
If you like beer, music and football and know how to have a good time, you're just like us. We like to throw a great party and meet cool people. What started out as four guys and a foosball table has grown into a parking-lot-wide block party.
Our philosophy
We've grown tired of people who tailgate in their own little tailgate bubbles, too afraid to talk to the people next to them. Maybe the guys next to you only have a grill and cooler in the back of their minivan. They're not REAL tailgaters like you. Where's their RV?
Or, God forbid, they're fans of the opposing team! Maybe you should get drunk and start a fight!
To hell with all that. We're all in this together, so why not meet your tailgating neighbors? We're all here for the same reasons, so why not make the best of it?
We welcome everyone. We don't even care if you're from the opposing team. Some of the coolest people we've ever met weren't Lions fans. Sure, we'll tell them their team sucks balls, but we'll do it over a beer and wish them luck anyway.
Yes, the Bears are a detestable team, but their fans sure know how to party! Can't stand those freaking cheeseheads, but they know their football, and their beer! Vikings fans? Well, we're still trying to figure you out. Stop by for a beer and let's talk about it.
I went to a game in Cleveland once, and had garbage and beer thrown at me, little kids swearing at me, dirty looks and shoves. That ain't cool and we all know it.
You might root for the other team, but we're not going to waste our beer by throwing it at you.Good-natured rivalry is what it's all about. A little smack talk and then we'll do a shot together. You love your team, we love ours. Let's drink to it!
We believe tailgating is for everyone. Bring the wife. Bring the kids. Bring grandma and her little dog that craps on your floor. Show them how to have a good time and meet some cool people who enjoy the same things you do.
That's the way we live and the party just keeps getting bigger. Imagine that.
