Time to get another season of tailgating kicked off. This Saturday the NY Jets come to town for preseason game 2. Tailgate kickoff is at 1pm.

Food this week is grilled chicken breast sammiches. Everything to make this happen will be there: chicken, buns, lettuce, tomato, onions, mustard, mayo, cheese, chips, baked beans, and cole slaw.

Here's the details:

1. Who will be there/who can come? Let's start this out by saying that anybody can come and everyone is welcome. It has been this way ever since we started in 2004 and it makes the day interesting to say the least. The answer is, "yes, you are welcome."

2. Where? The tailgate is in a parking lot across the street (same side) from Picasso's located at 230 S. Church St. It's a big parking lot that borders Church, 3rd, and Poplar downtown. In particular we are in the corner of 3rd and Poplar. There will be loud music probably and there will be a Carolina huddle banner up on a tent by the sidewalk. We are usually right beside the lower entrance to this lot.

3. When? We will start tailgating at 1pm, going until right before kickoff. No food will be served until around 5pm, other than a few bags of chili cheese fritos.

4. What do I bring? We provide just about everything. Food, plates, side items, non alcoholic drinks like waters, a diet soda, and regular soda. We have tents in case it rains and a few chairs if you really need one. If you drink alcohol, you need to bring it because the Huddle does not in any way provide alcohol for tailgates. If you bring your alcohol, bring some way to cool it too because cooler space is in short supply on hot summer days.

5. How much? We provide everything for you to have a good tailgate and leave full before going into the game. Hopefully the food has been better at the tailgate than much of the overpriced junk you could buy in the stadium. Take that into account when the donation bucket comes around. Consider you didn't have to lug any of the equipment or cook anything yourself as well. 100% of all the money donated goes to the end of season Toys for Tots drive at the stadium. Few other charities can claim 100% given goes to the cause.

Parking in the lot we're at costs $30/space. You do not have to park there to tailgate with us, few people do. You can easily find spots a few blocks back for a fraction of cost of this lot and just walk up. Some people take the light rail in for a few bucks.

Disclaimer: There will probably be loud music. The Huddle does not take responsibility for what is seen and heard at a tailgate so consider this before bringing children. The Huddle does not police adult behavior at tailgates.

Any other questions this is the thread to ask.
