At the Naval Academy, it's the whole fish and nothing but the fish.

Chesapeake Bay mussels and shrimp make this tailgate in Baltimore.

The Ohio Stadium Cake was devised in 1991 as a light-hearted means of celebrating the great tradition of Buckeye football. By its third year, the annual cake had become such a big hit with Ohio State fans that its creators, a group of five devoted OSU alumni, decided to use the cake to raise funds for Ohio State's general need-based academic scholarship, the Scarlet and Gray Scholarship Fund. Since that time, the 200-plus pound cake has been constructed for display at the creators' tailgate party before and during one home football game each year.  Through the eighth year, the confectionary masterpiece is served following the game for donations to the Scarlet & Gray Scholarship Fund.   Since its inception, the Ohio Stadium Cake has helped raised more than $6,000.

Kevin from a Baltimore Raven's Tailgater sends us his Fanatical Menu:



San Francisco Wine and Cheese-ITZ!


In Oakland the Tailgaters have a real sense of community.  Here we have five Oakland Tailgaters in the pit.



In Green Bay, they're not just fanatical about their food, they ARE the food.


Pittsburgh Steelers...now that's a sandwich! 


These Tennessee Titan Tailgaters show their spirit by "roasting" the other team.
