To make sure you have a great time at your San Diego Chargers tailgate party, our creative event planners suggest you keep these tailgating ideas in mind.
For most outdoor events in San Diego, you will scout out and compare venues. Tailgating a Charger’s game does not require you to go through this full process, but you still need to know the layout of your tailgating location. Qualcomm Stadium seats more than 70,000 fans, and its parking lots are among the best for tailgating. This means you will have plenty of company!
When planning your Chargers tailgate party at Qualcomm Stadium, keep these quick tips in mind:
Nobody will doubt your team spirit when they see your blue and gold tailgating station complete with electric thunderbolts. Take your Charger’s tailgating decorations a step further by encouraging guests to paint their face, wear a jersey and pick up some beads. A face painting station fosters fun and team pride among guests of all ages. And, of course, do not forget to turn up the music to charge everyone up for the big game.
The best San Diego catering companies know tailgating is as much about the drinks as the food. We can provide a wide variety of booze including hard alcohol and premier local brews. To compete with the sunshine, we can have plenty of non-alcoholic drinks like water, juices, sodas and smoothies.
Although San Diego catering is known for its seafood and Latin cuisine, you can’t tailgate without grilling up traditional favorite pre-game food. Our Grill-Out BBQ is a popular choice, but any of our affordable barbecue menus can be customized to your Charger’s tailgating party. Some of our favorite Charger’s tailgating foods to grill on-site are:
When choosing a San Diego catering company, check to see how they source their produce. Pick a company that hand selects the freshest produce because the city’s sweetest watermelon will taste so delicious as you party in the hot parking lot!
It is easy to think about a sunny outdoor event and forget about the evening chill. Although your tailgating party in San Diego is likely to be in the heat of the day, temperatures will be much lower mid-way through the game. Bring a warm jacket and remind guests to come prepared for a pretty drastic change in temperature.
