Welcome

A View from the Tailgate Lot will be a blog that will discuss the latest sports topics and issues.  I will mainly be discussing my passion for Indiana University athletics.  I will also be commenting on Chicago Sports and major sports leagues in general.

I look forward to sharing thoughts from the perspective of the die hard fan.  The tailgate lot is where us passionate fans begin each game with the hope that success will follow.  It is the place where after the game we gather to celebrate, commiserate, and communicate on the happenings of that days game. The tailgate lot is the place of friends, games, refreshments and food.  A place where we talk about offense, defense, special teams and of course coaching.  We believe we have the answers.  We believe in the team and we believe in our tailgate brethren.  Relationships are formed, friends made and world problems are solved.

The tailgate lot is primarily used for football, however, the Tonsoni family has tailgated at basketball, baseball and football throughout the years. We have learned from the best.

We will be sharing all kinds of extra items in this blog.  Recipes, tailgating products, and other ideas to use in your enjoyment of sports.

I hope you enjoy this blog!
