Tailgating—almost every other sport in the world does it, but college football does it best.

The locales and the traditions that make the college game great enhance fans' pregame experience. For some of them, it's their entire game day, as staying at the tailgate to watch the game can be more appealing than paying for a ticket inside the stadium.

You probably can't find a bad tailgating experience in college football. Whenever friends and family and even rivals get together before the game, it's a pregame time of food and fun that's hard to mess up.
