Short history of tailgating
Unfortunately, there is no definitive origin of the tailgating party only some assumptions, but usually dated in the 19th century. One tailgating party could be the Battle of Bull Run in 1861 as Union supporters gathered beside the battlefield with food as spectators. This was the right idea at the wrong time. Another origin is the first college football game in 1869 as fans celebrated the game between Rutgers and Princeton in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Probably this was way different than modern tailgate parties but could be their progenitor. Over the decades tailgating adapt technological advancements and grew into a social event on their own and as essential part of American culture. Quick note on the side: outside the USA tailgating is less popular. Sure, there are some parties held at American football games in Europe, but they are more like an exception.
