Anywhere but in the multi-level garage in the Izod center side. Otherwise, go nuts and have fun!

I read it wrong. To me "Tailgating" and "Parking" are synonymous

This is true as well. It is what you make of it in the end, but with a group of 4? it's not 'wise' to throw a fancy tailgate. Then again, if you've never tailgated before there's a sense of pride in being a man and doing a tailgate with your friends. Like others said in the posts above, if you're set on tailgating don't overdo it. If there's only four of you there's no sense in buying costco-sized burger packs and ungodly amounts of bratwurst. A decent rule to go by is $8-10 spent per person for food/condiments.

As far as recipes, that sausage, pepper, and onion idea is good. A lot of the prepwork is done at home so all it entails is to grill the sausage, heat up the veggies and slapping it on a bun. Some others if interested, rated by cost:

$$$$

- Bacon-wrapped shrimp: Buy 16-20 sized cooked/tail-on/deveined shrimp and toss in a marinade of 2 oz olive oil, 2 oz lemon juice, oz hot sauce, half-cup preferred barbeque sauce, tablespoon salt/pepper, tablespoon paprika, tablespoon garlic. Throw the shrimp in the marinade when frozen then put it all in the fridge the night before the tailgate, remove from fridge before leaving and assemble your shrimp by wrapping each one individual with a half-strip of bacon. Place the baconed-shrimp in some tupperware and put it in your cooler. Put on grill till bacon is crisp and eat up. PROTIP: Get a long skewer and put 5-6 shrimp on a skewer to make grilling/flipping the shrimp easier.

$$$

- Cheesesteaks: Since it's hard to grill the steak-ums people usually use for cheesesteak you can buy a cheap cut of steak like a skirt steak and grill it at the tailgate. I'd recommend marinating the steak with a simple marinade of italian dressing, salt, and pepper. Make sure the steaks are thin, you don't want to grill 2-inch thick behemoths. Cook 3 min on each side (depends on heat of grill though) and let them rest for 5 minutes. When the steaks have cooled a bit cut them really thin across the grain of the steak and stack the slices in a hoagie-roll. Top with american cheese and eat up. If you need the cheese to melt put the sandwiches in the corner of the grill somewhere with low indirect-heat and wait about a minute (put the lid on the grill) til the cheese melts through.

- Burgers and hot dogs. If you can't pull this off you're a fucking retard. PROTIP: Spread yellow-mustard (not spicy-brown, the neon colored shit that normally tastes disgusting) on burger patties when grilling for some added flavor. Apparently in&out burger in Cali does this as a trade secret. Whether they do or not I don't know but it tastes better.

Also, if you have one of those portable tent-things -- forgot what they're called exactly but they have 4 poles and a canopy above -- it definitely helps. Adds to the experience I think and is unbeatable when it rains. Bring a sautee pan and a pot for the grill if you'll need it.

I just came across this thread. And being the dick that I am, I had to comment. First of all, you have no idea about your meats do you? Skirt steak is NOT a cheap cut. Its usually around 9 bucks a pound. There countless cuts cheaper. Secondly, why on earth would you use skirt steak for a cheesesteak? It is clearly not a "sandwhich steak". That is all
