Once, in 2021. We crashed an old friends tailgate.

It was one of those set up deals in this lot/field between the stadium and George Bush Dr. I think you had to do the paid set up, as each tailgate had a uniform appearance and there were no cars in the lot, only tents.

The setup was pretty nice- they put it up and take it down for you, and I think provide the food. You BYOB if I recall. I can’t imagine it was cheap, as the lot was a primo location and the aforementioned work was done for you. I did not see much else in the way of tailgating lots.

Some of the bars in town were fun if you don’t want to do the work- Dixie chicken and the Backyard both had good setups and are right next to each other.
