Tailgate Party

The other day we went to a CFL football game.  One of the great traditions of a football game is the tailgate party.  People arrive at the stadium a couple of hours before the game and have a party in the parking lot.  Tailgate is actually the back of a truck.  People will bring BBQ's in their trucks and cook for other fans.  Since open alcohol in public is illegal in Canada, most people will still drink alcohol but they will drink in cups that are not as noticeable as drinking straight from a beer bottle.  Police are usually in good spirits at these games and turn a blind eye on most of the drinking.
