TESTIMONIALS
We had an incredibly fun game day experience at Ole Miss with our host, Dr. Brian W. and his entire family and tailgate group. The entire day into the night was terrific, and the Ole Miss "Grove" vibe was awesome. We cannot say enough great things about our host and the Tailgate Connect experience.
Thanks a Million.

Food, booze and entertainment was solid... our hosts were a genuinely great guys. We are so glad we used Tailgate Connect for our trip to Baton Rouge and we will definitely use it again and be sure to tell others about it.
Thank you for having a service that was so fun and easy.

We’ve used Tailgate Connect several times and it’s obvious that they are fans first and foremost. The tailgates they source are authentic and provide fans with a genuine taste of the host city, campus or stadium where they are situated.
From LSU - where the hosts and attendees couldn’t have been more welcoming, providing excellent food (including incredible gumbo) and drink options - to Michigan, where we experienced an unforgettable back yard tailgate party that made the hours before entering the Big House as enjoyable as watching the game itself!
Dan, Joe and his team do a great job of sourcing genuine, friendly hosts to ensure that clients have an incredible time. Keep up the good work!

Our experience with Tailgate Connect has been nothing short of great! They are first class in everything they do and they really care about the tailgate and the customer.
We really enjoy hosting guests from Tailgate Connect because it gives us a chance to show the guest what tailgating in Knoxville is all about. Not to mention making new friends is the name of the game.
We work so hard to make Tristar Tailgating the best because we have become a part of a nationwide tailgating fraternity and we want to be the best! There's so much pride that comes with tailgating and when guys from Baton Rouge or Norman visit Knoxville and tailgate with us, nothing is better than when they say - Wow! Y'all really know how to do it! Some people plan their tailgate on the Wednesday before the game... We're done planning our tailgates in the spring!

Great meeting the folks at @TristarTailgate. They do it up right with live music and BBQ.
