Tailgating Menus - 2006


Previous Years:   2006   2007   2008   2009   Current  

Tailgating is an essential part of any home game.  Obviously this involves pumping music, a plethora of alcoholic beverages, and great food.  Each week, we attempt to make food that corresponds with the visiting team.  It can be based off of players names, the area the team is from or whatever we think works :-)   Below is the menu for each game:
