One of the great
benefits of being a member of The Box J Boys is getting involved with our
tailgate parties before each Ti-Cat home games. It's a great way to get some
good eats before the game, while meeting new people at the same time. And
yes we eat good... Sample of our tailgating menu. Cowboy Steaks, Roasted
Pig, Ribs, Deep-Fried Turkey and Pizza from Toppers
The tailgaters have evolved from just a few people hanging in Scott Park before
the game to regular crowds approaching 200 people. Okay, so we have a ways to go
before we can challange Stampeder fans, but we're working on it.
That said, here are a few simple rules we live by when tailgating:
• Respect
thy neighbour
Respect of those around us is key to keeping our tailgaters a success. We also
acknowledge that children are often present, so please respect that fact as
well.
• Drinketh from thou cup
Drinking in public is illegal, and if it were to happen at one of our
tailgaters, it needs to happen as discretely as possible. Bottles are
discouraged for obvious reasons, cans preferred. Once poured into cup, it's game
on.
• Leave the lot as clean as when you got there.
Once we leave, no one should be able to tell 2000 people just sat there for 3-4
hours, grillin, chillin and swillin. Take home with you what you brought, and
make sure all garbage is picked up.
• Fans of ALL teams are always welcome.
As Box J Boys we often travel to other CFL cities to watch our Ti-Cats play.
Whether you're an Eskimo, Stampeder, Rider and yes even if you're an Argo fan,
you are always welcome at our tailgaters. The CFL is a great vehicle to meet
people from across the country, who share your love of Canadian football. If
you're from out of town and are attending a Ti-Cat game stop by and say "Hi".
We can't be missed.
• HAVE A GOOD TIME!
Tailgating just adds to the whole football experience. We're all here to have a
good time, so come and join us, introduce yourselves and have a good time. Once
you get the bug, and see how much fun we have, you'll be hooked.
