A faithful reader writes in: Last year, the men’s basketball team at GMU made the final four. This year, the team should see a lot more interest from alumni like me. Any idea if people tailgate before basketball games outside the Patriot Center?
Pro and college football are usually the premier tailgate sports, but we don’t see any reason why people can’t brave the chilly weather and tailgate at college basketball games. Basketball arenas are smaller than college football stadiums, but that doesn’t mean that burgers, hot dogs, and certain beverages need not be consumed. Tailgating is inherently easier at schools with big parking lots, like Maryland and George Mason, but it can still be done at urban schools like GWU and Georgetown. We did some research on whether people tailgate for hoops, and more importantly, how to do it. Please leave comments with your own ideas and experiences. Because why should football fans have all the fun?
Our findings, after the jump.
