Tailgating is an art, and Arizona Football fans are some of the most inventive Tailgaters. But what are the latest tailgating trends and have or will Wildcats fans rise to the occasion?

Tailgating is a blast, and Arizona Football fans are great at putting on a spread, fit for any partying Wildcats fans. We thought we would look into what our fans and those of other schools and professional teams have been doing lately as far as tailgating ideas.

Keep in mind; these are ideas for Arizona Wildcats fans, other fans have access to these things, but we cannot guarantee Tucson has this stuff available for purchase.

Weber Grills, who offer six schools fans a logo-ed $299 grill takes an annual grill owners survey. Here are a few tailgating related results according to the 25th Weber Grill Survey:

  • The average amount of money spent on a tailgate party by grill owners holds steady at $122 for the second year in a row, with one-quarter of the tailgaters spending between $100 and $149 per party (25%).
  • Vegetables are rising in popularity, with eight percent of tailgate grillers putting veggies in their top three foods, up from four percent last year. Steak is cited by 31 percent of males as a tailgate food staple, while only 18 percent of women feel the same way.

    Grill owners report their top must-have items for a tailgate party are food (78 percent) and a grill (76 percent). Chairs (74 percent) and a cooler (71 percent) also make the top of the list.
