Turns out that after my husband retired he turned into a sports fan and I became a football widow happily playing on the computer while the current game plays in the background. My husband is camped out in front of the T.V. I'm sure that my hubby and I are not the only persons in this position. There are more than a few folks thanking their lucky stars that they get to stay home to watch the day's football games.
While hubby is watching the game I'll hand out a few tailgating, Superbowl party, and gift idea tips for fans of the NFL and its players. Fans may enjoy the foodie tips coming from a woman's point of view as T.V. and plenty of finger food seem to naturally fit together.

Do You Know How Many Games Each National Football League Team Plays?

Each team is set up to play a total of 16 games each season which equals out to a grand total of 256 games hosted for each playoff period. It all ends with the final 2 teams playing off at the Superbowl.
There are generally over 100 million viewers of the Superbowl so yeah, you could say that it is a pretty big deal. Advertisers know it so Superbowl commercials have become quite famous in their own right with some fans watching the game largely just to see what comes up in these advertisements (or at least that is what they say.)
The very first Superbowl Game broadcast films don't exist. They disappeared. It could be that they were taped over or simply tossed but there had been 2 tapes that had been aired independently aired by the CBC and NBC networks. Through a strange twist of fate both of these tapings disappeared leaving Superbowl 1 as the only NFL football game without an existing copy as record of its play.
NFL Films took it upon itself to rectify the situation. It was a mighty task to fulfill but they managed to pull together all the major plays of the game to recreate a Superbowl 1 tape available to air. The game was between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs and the resulting taped aired on the 49th anniversary of that game.

Now Let's Get Talking About The Serious Stuff - Food!
Most sporting events and sport theme parties involve food. We all consume the stuff and for some strange reason we tend to get a craving for snacks to keep our fingers busy while we otherwise sit around keeping an eye on the event. It's a fact. Finger foods are one of the most popular one meal deal / appetizers for these events. It's important to note that one dish meals like chili, lasagna, natchos, and potato salad also come into play on game day.
Meat Lovers Rejoice!
Meaty foods rank high on the list of popular appetizers and when it comes to eating the Superbowl definitely has its share of meat lovers. Popular game foods are Chicken wings, hotdogs, hamburgers, ribs, pizza, potato chips, tortilla chips, popcorn, and nuts. Are you noticing a trend toward finger foods here?
Foodie Lovers Unite: Here Are A Few Popular Flavours Of Chicken Wings
If you are serving up wings for your football game party then a little chicken trivia may be exactly what you need. The number one all time favourite chicken wing flavour is barbecue with buffalo wings pulling into second place. If you want to put a unique spin on the evening and serve up a variety of flavours then here are a few more that you may want to hand over to your taste buds to sample. HOT, spicy barbecue, honey garlic, Thai, Korean, cajun, Caribbean, Terriyaki, curried, and tempura battered but of course this is but a few of the many flavours which can be created using this famous finger food.
Relax And Enjoy the Game - Go Buffet For Your Game Day Dining Needs
If you are having friends over for the big game then the easiest way to satisfy your friends feed needs is to serve food up buffet style. It helps keep things simple. Once the food is set up there isn't all that much maintenance work in keeping the table stocked.
It's a help yourself scenario so no one person gets saddled playing the gopher. If something runs out even a visitor can be encouraged to take a stroll to the fridge for what ever may be needed. Buffets have a great way of working out that way. If you have a cooler or tub filled with beverages it can be a real time saver as well. Set up a bin for empties.

Spice Up Your Mustard at Home
You can easily liven up your mustard into blends ranging from mild to super hot by simply adding in cayenne pepper in varying amounts. To create a honey mustard add in cream honey and a dab of mayonnaise. It's easy to sauce things up so go ahead and experiment.
When it Comes To Eating At The Sports Arena Hotdogs Are The Food
Baseball made the humble hotdog famous but oh how it has grown in glory throughout the years. It is the food most recognized with being available in sports stadiums and a finger food that a majority of fans have enjoyed there. You can generally expect to pay anywhere from $3.00 to $7.00 for a hot dog when you attend a Superbowl game. For the Superbowl's 50th anniversary in 2016 a special edible gold flake topped hotdog was offered to fans who were willing to shell out $12.00 for the thrill.
Design Your Own Homemade Dips
If you have company coming over to watch the game then you are going to need snacks. Now generally you do require meat but you also need some crunchy munchies as well. When it comes time to get the dip forget about the store bought stuff and make your own. It's easy economical and tastes delicious. Combine 1 liter of sour cream with 1 envelop of onion soup mix. Yep, that's it. You can add in some garlic, dill, or other herb if you want to spice things up a bit.
Why The Heck Would You Want To Tailgate The Game?
It gets you close to the action for one thing but it can also save you a fair amount of pocket change! Food and alcohol prices within the arena can be expensive so packing your own food and beverages can generally save you a fair bit of pocket change. Parking in the lot and virtually living off your tailgate can save you quite a few pennies. By reducing your food, drink, and entertainment expenses you can have that extra spare change to attend an extra game or to possibly purchase something else your heart has been longing for.
Are You Tailgating It This Year?
It’s tailgate season again and if you are all excited to head off and get first dibs on your favorite spot in the stadium parking lot you aren't alone. The whole purpose of tailgating is to reduce stadium visit costs. The economic downturn has been rough on the old pocketbook for quite a few folks these past couple years and tailgating helps sports fans save a few dollars on their favorite form of entertainment.
On A Budget - Reduce The Cost Of Your Meals
If you’ve got to literally trim the fat from the steaks to let you sit back, relax, and enjoy the game this year then these tips may help you out. Take barbecued steak and ribs off the menu and replace these expensive cuts of meat with lower priced favorites. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken legs, and chili are low priced meat options that satisfy a hungry appetite wonderfully. These foods are very tasty and will add a campfire flare to your game experience without breaking your budget.
Potatoes are also reasonable in price and a very filling food. Baked potatoes with a dab of sour cream to accompany the hot dogs and hamburgers will satisfy even the heartiest of appetites and still keep your budget manageable. These meaty tailgating tips are also great for feeding guests who have turned up to watch the game with you when you stay home.

Tailgating The Game? Bring Your Snack Foods From Home
Before, during, and after game snacks can be expensive and the costs can add up quickly if you are purchasing them at the concession stand. Bags of potato chips, cheese snacks, crackers, and other crunchy snacks can add up to a lot of dollars very quickly. Purchase large size bags of snack food on sale at the grocery store before you head out to the game.
Another option is homemade popcorn. It is one of the most economical snack foods you can get to replace more expensive munchies. A large bag of popping corn is going to cost about two dollars. You, your family, and all your buddies will have snack food for the entire weekend when that one bag gets popped up.

Beverages Are An Easy Area You Can Economize In
Purchasing beer, coffee, and pop at the concession stand can add up so bring more of your own. By bringing along more of your own drinks to the game you are going to save a lot of dollars in your tailgating food budget. Watch your local grocery stores for sales and stock up when your favourite beverages go on sale.There can be a large difference in prices from one store to another, so watch your fliers to see what is on sale, and where. Stock up when it goes on sale. Chill your beer and pop at home before you throw it into your cooler for the trip to the game.
Use Milk Jugs To Freeze Water Into Ice Blocks
Your food needs to stay cold in the cooler so you definitely need ice. Fortunately you can make the majority of your ice at home. Prepare it in advance, bag it up, and keep it in your home freezer until you are ready to hit the road. Milk jugs are great for freezing water into cooler packs and as the ice thaws it can also provide you with a fresh supply of drinking water. Taking iced water in milk jugs also means that you won’t have to purchase bottled water so another cost saving to your tailgate food budget. If you have a lengthy stay at the game then you may still have to purchase some ice to replenish your cooler but certainly not the amount that you would have otherwise.
Have A Great Season Guys And Gals
Missing Your Favorite Brew?
No, I am not referring to beer. First thing in the morning and late into the evening a hot drink can serve to warm the heart. Unfortunately when you are camping even simple tasks can seem complicated so tailgating can increase the cost of your coffee one heck of a lot if you are drinking out. If you've got your hot pot with you then that can help out a lot. When you are camping hot drinks can be one of those areas where a simple thing suddenly takes on a whole new complexity. Just keep in mind that instant coffee, hot chocolate, and tea, are easier to make then fresh brewed coffee.
