Captain of the Tailgate: Thanksgiving Dilemma

by John B on Nov 26, 2010 12:00 PM EST in Captain of the Tailgate

I had a thought watching the game last night. What did the people going to the game do for dinner? Did they eat at home before the game? Did they tailgate the traditional way? Did they cook Thanksgiving food at home and eat it at the parking lot? Did they find some sort of middle ground and grill turkey legs like I have seen fans in Mississippi do before college Thanksgiving games? Did they reschedule the normal Thanksgiving feast for a different day? How many people didn't use their tickets to spend time with their family?

If you went, how did you handle it. If you didn't go, how would you if you had tickets?

Thanksgiving Dinner

For my family it was at two. I was even around for most of the Cowboys – Saints game. I guess living 25 minutes from the stadium doesn’t hurt… but desert with the rest of the family was however skipped for this game.

I watched the pregame show on Chanell 11, and they showed some people who set up tables under a tent and had their dinner in the parking lot under the rain.

We ate Thanksgiving dinner (lunch) early at 1pm and were tailgating at the Meadowlands by 4 to eat again, albeit with a much smaller spread. Pretty much eating and drinking all night, with the hangover today to prove it.
