Giants to be Featured in Tailgate32
By Joe Tufaro
This fall, a small crew will take on the challenge of pulling off the ultimate NFL
football fan road trip. It’s called Tailgate32, a 25,000 mile, cross country football
odyssey in an RV. The team will host a tailgate at a home game for all 32 NFL teams
during the 17 week regular season before powering on to the playoffs and Super
Bowl XLVII. Yeah, it sounds a little crazy but the leaders of the tour–brothers John
and Mike Trupiano–are ready for the challenge.
The goal is to capture the essence of American tailgating. Mike explains it as
“Anthony Bourdain meets football fan culture.” A film crew will be along for the ride
so that digital video episodes–available online–can be released following each
game, often from the road. In addition to hanging at the tailgates, Mike and John will
be hitting up fans on Facebook and Twitter throughout the journey. The most
passionate fans and tailgaters, along with unique characters, will be the centerpieces
of Tailgate32 stories.
These guys want to know how you, the fans, tailgate on NFL game day. Tell them
what food to grill, the beers you drink, which lots to hit or the bars they should
frequent before and after the game! Head to the website http://tailgate32.com, like
them on Facebook (http://facebook.com/tailgate32) and follow them on Twitter
(@tailgate_32) to take part in the conversation.
But don’t just tell them how New York does it. Tailgate32 will be at the Giants season
opener on Wednesday, September 5th. Wear your Giants blue, find them in parking
lot and show this crew how tailgating is done in this town. You can also hit Giants
away games with Tailgate32 on September 20th in Carolina and December 3rd in
Washington.
