We may be biased but 24 Hour Tailgate is one of the best fan traditions in the country, let alone DFW. We owe the fans' 24 Hour Tailgate to our brothers and sisters of the Inferno. When the pioneers of Dallas supporter culture wanted to mark the opening of Pizza Hut Park in mid-2005, Travis Bell came up with the idea of a 24 hour tailgate. After that first hot August night, a tradition was born to mark the start of each season - when it's thankfully much cooler! Fans have continued to gather and party long into the night for the past thirteen years and this year will be no different.

As the Dallas Beer Guardians grew, we have had the honor of arranging most of the food and activities for 24 Hour Tailgate over the past few years and we're planning on another great night out in the Toyota Stadium parking lot!

The night is also marked by FC Dallas. Lamar Hunt visited fans that first year to thank them for their support, and Dan Hunt has continued that every year since, even bringing pizza for fans and sticking around to have a beer and a chat long into the night with the Dallas faithful. Often coaches and players have also provided food and drink for fans as a token of their thanks.
