Tailgate Party of the Season
Steelers vs Lions | 10-11-09
The perfect storm lurks on the horizon; the Lions finally won a home game, the Steeler Nation is poised to invade Rock City, and the most evil Black Sabbath tribute band in the solar system, Banned From EARTH, will be in the swirling eye of the storm, the epicenter of the chaos, Lot 1 of Detroit's Eastern Market.
Lions fans who remember the last time Banned From EARTH laid waste to the market know that if there is one tailgate party to attend all season, this is the one. Come early, stay late and be ready to rock.

2009 Home Opener
Here we go again tailgaters! Apologies for the tardy update to DetroitTailgate.com, but we're back like a stray cat with the beer on ice, the propane tanks filled and ready to channel our Lions frustrations into a killer party. If we didn't drink and laugh, we'd all go insane.
Slight Return plays Lot 1
We may have been scarce on the internet, but that doesn't mean we don't have a great party with live music lined-up for Sunday. Tailgate favorites Slight Return will be unveiling their killer custom truck, a mobile concert stage on wheels, Sunday morning for a day of pure Detroit-based rockin' funky blues. Slight Return has recently opened for Robin Trower, CCR and Tesla and their set is tight. Don't miss your chance to see these guys up close and personal.
Slight Return on Comcast On Demand
If you've never seen Slight Return before, be sure to check out their performance on Comcast On Demand. Their feature airs until October 15 and you can find it in your Comcast On Demand menu at: Music > All Videos M-Z > Slight Return

Draft Day Party
We have a ton of leftover beer from the Final Four tailgate party, and what better way to reduce an overstock of beer than to throw a party!
We're throwing a house party on Saturday, April 25. Burgers, beer and liquor will be on hand as we cross our fingers and pray the Lions do right in the draft.
Party starts at noon. Send me an email and I'll send you directions to the party. Every Lions fan is welcome!

Final Four Tailgate Party
Photos are up from the Final Four tailgate party. It was a great day and Detroit really shined. One of the best afternoons I've ever spent in Detroit.

Honorable mention goes to Tom the "Mad Chef." We met Tom in the parking lot, and he kept feeding us delicious cajun chicken and outstanding ribs. Dude was an incredible parking lot chef, and we're currently recruiting him to join our team. Kudos to you, Tom, and thanks for the awesome food!
Tom and his ridiculously good ribs.

Welcome to the offseason
It's been a long time between updates. The 2008 season was so brutal, it still makes us vomit a little just thinking of it. Plus, the weather during the final home game against the Saints was so cold (5 degrees with 35 mph winds) we couldn't keep the beer from freezing and cancelled the tailgate.
But, time has passed, a new coach is here, and the Lions are begging season ticket holders to return next season. So, let's celebrate by looking at pictures from the last tailgate party of 2008.

The rebuild
We're going to continue to lay low for awhile here at DetroitTailgate.com. There are still a few gems from the 2008 season we have yet to post, and an offseason tailgate party or two we're going to host (Go Tigers! Go Wings!), but we're going to rest up and heal our wounds.
Congrats to the Arizona Cardinals for getting to the Super Bowl. We here in Detroit have a special bond with the Cards and wish them the best. Check out our brothers of the Cards #1 Tailgating Team.
Our Sponsors
Don't forget to show your Detroit love for our sponsors who helped make our 2008 tailgating season the best yet.
