A-Game Tailgate

The 15th season of the A-Game Tailgate will be here before you know it! The A-Game Tailgate is a football phenomenon that began Oct. 19, 1996, when diehard football fans Paul Krome and Neil Hall took in our first University of Maryland football gameday at Byrd Stadium in College Park. We became instant fans — of the Terps and of tailgating, recruiting like-minded fans to join Team A-Game. We're entering our 11th year as season-ticket holders and have expanded the number in our group, and our tailgate parties, considerably over the years. We are proud to say that the A-Game Tailgate was named the “Top Orange Bowl Tailgate Party” by Terrapin Times magazine in January 2002, and it was featured on the Orange Bowl pregame shows of Channels 7 and 9 in Washington, D.C. The A-Game is featured on the national tailgating Web site Tailgating America. We also gained national exposure on ESPN's College Gameday on Nov. 30, 2002, before the regular season finale vs. Wake Forest. Prior to the North Carolina game Nov. 1, 2003, Jess Atkinson and FridgeTV stopped by the A-Game for an interview. FridgeTV also interviewed Team A-Game in the rain prior to the Temple game Oct. 8, 2005. The 2006 season saw us achieve our milestone 100th tailgate party.

But the Terps aren't our only passion. Team A-Game also makes regular appearances at Ravens games, and the Regents Cup Game featuring Maryland cross-state rivals Salisbury (alma mater of several A-Gamers) and Frostburg State.

Agametailgate.com will tell you a little bit about us, our history, our food and more. The links on the left will help you get around the site, and also send you to other sites of interest.

We invite you to join us! Our location for the majority of home games is Parking Lot 1 on the University of Maryland campus, right near the lane that intersects Lots 1, 1b and 1d.

We also travel to several Maryland road games each season and maintain an informational Web page dedicated to getting the Terrapin Nation together for tailgating in enemy territory.

Look for our 25-foot high flagpole, sporting the Maryland state flag and the red and white A-Game flag. Stop by for a Bratwurst...just make sure you bring your A-Game!
