It’s fall, and that means one thing:  football!  Here at Banner Events headquarters, we are HUGE football fans!  Whether we’re traveling to watch a game in person, keeping things simple with a family viewing party, or having friends over to share in the game experience, we love putting together a little tailgate party to celebrate our favorite team!  I’m excited to share with you a fabulous collection of top ways to tailgate!

Epic Sport Trips

My favorite way to tailgate, of course,  is in person, at a live game! Thanks to Epic Sport Trips, powered by Get Away Today, I am headed to sunny California this weekend to cheer on my alma mater, BYU, as they face the UCLA Bruins in a Top 25 matchup.  Is there a better way to tailgate than in person? What I love about teaming up with Epic Sport Trips is their ability to build a dream sports vacation and save me money doing it!  A new leg of Get Away Today, Epic Sport Trips, pairs great tickets to popular sporting events with hotels and area attractions.  I was able to get Disneyland tickets, BYU vs. UCLA football game tickets and our hotel squared away all at once! That leaves more time and money to buy fan apparel and tailgate refreshments!  All Anders Ruff readers can save $10 on a trip package via Get Away Today with this promo code:  BannerEvents.
