Crimson Tide Football

The University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide is known for its rabid, loyal fans that just can’t get enough of their favorite football team. They have even gone so far as creating their own rally cry: “Roll Tide!” Tailgating at a Crimson Tide football game is unlike any other event. The campus is a beautiful spot to begin with, and the quad area is where the action takes place. Every weekend there’s a football game, fans pile in to start celebrating. Just be sure to come ready for a long tailgating party. Typically, fans start flooding the quad on the Friday before kickoff.

Auburn University Football

Auburn University’s campus comes alive days before football games, which is why it is one of the best tailgating sports events in Alabama. Auburn fans are extremely dedicated and passionate about their Tigers football team. Just listen for their “War Eagle” battle cries around town. These fans start the party long before kickoff and keep it rolling long after. The big tradition is walking to the stadium with the players on game day.

So go put your game face on and get out to enjoy Alabama’s best tailgating events!
