Tailgating at Arby’s

Have you ever been tailgating? When I was in my 20s, a long time ago, I tailgated with my future husband at the Iowa Hawkeye football home games. There were lots of people, lots of food, lots of anticipation for the game, and lots of beverages. Sometimes we even tailgated just the two of us from the back of our car with our grill we brought from home. I have fond memories of those fun days in the fall.

The other day I pulled into the drive thru lane at Arby’s. In the parking lot I noticed five or six women tailgating. They had parked their SUVs so the hatches opened next to each other. They even had a couple of lawn chairs out. They happily sat in the backs of their vehicles while eating, chatting and enjoying the beautiful Colorado weather. They were tailgating at Arby’s.

What a great idea during this time when most indoor dining is closed and you can’t attend football games. Maybe these ladies have started a new trend…tailgating at Arby’s, minus the grill and the beer!
