Tailgating, or as the “Varsity Tailgaters” in Minnesota define it, “the act of mentally and physically preparing oneself for a Vikings football game” is one of this country’s best traditions. To Vikingstailgate.com, tailgating means means driving a van, or beaten down truck to one of the official lots (Purple Lot #1, #2, or #3) with a gas grill, field goal posts, six pounds of beef, pork or brats, and several cases of Minnesota’s finest brew and bottles of Schnapps. According to our adopted Uncle Joe Kahn, Tailgating is :

“The last great American neighborhood – the tailgating neighborhood. Where no one locks their doors, everyone is happy to see you and all are together sharing fun, food and football!It’s families. It’s fans. It’s a community social. It’s pre-game, halftime, post-game and more. It’s the total game day experience!”

We, “The Kids of Met Stadium”, aka “The Section 205 Berserkers,” aka “The Varsity Tailgaters,” believe that you can tailgate with anyone (except maybe Lambeau Field Packer fans, who refuse to acccept that there are NFL teams with loyal fans who might actually like to visit their house without animosity) as long as you respect their loyalty and are willing to share space in the same parking lot.

We always try to be good ambassadors for Vikings fans throughout the nation, and take our “Tailgating Attitude” all over the country. We love our homefield tailgate and will be more than happy to share our “turf” with NFL fans who share the same tailgating philosophy. Through our experiences we collected many tips to tailgating and stories to share. This is the section of the web page where you can read about our experience.
