There\u2019s something magical about football season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crisp air, the sound of a roaring crowd, grown men wearing jerseys (sometimes not the best look), and the smell of grilled food wafting through the parking lot of your favorite stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s face it, getting to the game can be a hassle\u2014traffic, parking, and let\u2019s not even talk about the cost of tickets. So, why not bring the excitement of the tailgate to your own backyard or living room with a home football tailgate party? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s why it might just be the best idea you\u2019ve had all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenience is Key<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest perks of hosting a home tailgate is the convenience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to wake up at the crack of dawn for a noon game to secure a prime parking spot (not to mention the commute home in Chicago\u2019s impossible traffic) or haul a grill and cooler across a parking lot. You have everything you need right at your fingertips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re firing up the backyard grill or setting out a spread in your kitchen, you can tailor the experience to your liking without any of the logistical headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control the Menu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you throw a home tailgate party, you\u2019re in charge of the menu, and that means no settling for whatever food trucks or stadium vendors have to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That also means you can dole out food assignments. Since you\u2019re allowing people to party rent-free, Uncle Joe can bring dessert, cousin Rex will be on the hook for beer, and niece Gretchen, thank you in advance for the veggie tray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you insist on tackling everything, you can also whip up all your favorite game day snacks, from classic buffalo wings and sliders to gourmet twists like bacon-wrapped jalape\u00f1o poppers or a DIY nacho bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tailgate Without the Tailgaters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not every fan is a joy to be around, especially when things get heated during a close game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At home, you control the guest list, because it\u2019s your party and you\u2019ll cry if you want to, cry if you want to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll still feel the excitement, but in a more relaxed, comfortable setting where you don\u2019t have to worry about dodging flying drinks or dealing with overly enthusiastic strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Seat in the House<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unless you have free skybox access with a gourmet spread and open bar, your couch is the best seat there is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve got a big screen in HD, easy access to the bathroom, no lines for concessions, and the ability to pause the game if you need a quick break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and if it rains, hails, sleets, or snows, you\u2019ve got a roof over your head. Just check for leaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

🏈🐻 SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT 🏈🐻<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Idea: if you\u2019re hosting a home tailgate party, you can have a contest and prize for the best homemade dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, if you\u2019re a guest, you can bring a gift as a thank you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make said prize or gift our Bear Down Football Gift Basket<\/a>, which is perfect for Bears fans. This one\u2019s got the book 100 Things Bears fans should know and do before they die, a Bears mug, Bears ticket desk sign, Bears chip clips, J&M cookies, Dipping pretzels, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy home tailgating, and go Bears! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
