The parties will be simple and fun. We'll set up the grills and provide music, utensils, etc.
This season the Kennel Club is continuing with the "theme party" idea made popular by the News12 TV crew at last's years Hawaiian Luau Party. So dress accordingly to the theme. 50's Night? Dress like Elvis... Western Night? A cowboy hat & boots will do nicely (but do leave the horse at home!). The Kennel Club has lined up a MAJOR prize for Best Dress for the theme.
Remember, the tailgates are BYOF&D so we ask that members bring one item with them. You could bring burgers, dogs, sausage & peppers, chicken, wings, soda, dessert... whatever. Do you have a special dish you're known for? Bring it. A particular beverage you're fond of? Bring it. Whatever you like. It's a party. Some past delicacies have been: Cafone Chili, Bob-Ba-Booey Shrimp, Todd's Split Pea Soup, Bruce's Random Gruel and Brian's... Brian's... well, Brian can't cook, but it's fun to watch him eat!
Oh, you may want to bring something to sit or eat on, chairs and tables are limited...
Keep in mind, we're not feeding armies here. They're just a simple tailgate parties amongst old friends and new ones.
If you have any questions or suggestions, send them to our Tailgate Master, Steve Cafone. Steve is always looking for new ideas. He's also looking for ways to perfect that brutal chili recipe of his!
The tailgate parties will take place in the Continental Airlines Arena Parking Lot on the Southwest side of the Arena (directly between the Arena and Giants Stadium). Click here for directions to Arena and the tailgate party location.
When you get to the Parking Lot, look for the big red flag with the white "K". You can't miss us.
All tailgate parties will start approximately two hours before kick-off. Please call 1-888-RED-DOGS to confirm event in case of bad weather. If the weather becomes a threat, we will move the tailgate party to a pre-game party at Charlie Brown's in Carlstadt...
