TAILGATING AFTER DARK
A
s a mother of three sons ages 3 and younger, I don’t get out much, especially at night. So, when I escaped for a girls’ night out at a college football tailgate recently, I was blown away by the spectacle of night time tailgating. It was so cool! Normally when I tailgate for a college football game, or think about tailgating in general, I picture a beautiful Saturday or Sunday afternoon. But when my sister and I drove up to Durham, N.C. for the Duke-Notre Dame football game in early November, it was already dark when we pulled into the parking lot. Kickoff was at 7:30 p.m. and with the end of daylight savings, the sun had set on Wallace Wade Stadium by 5 p.m. Check out more Grills & Gear at www.insidetailgating.com
