About Tailgater of the Game  

 

In 2016, Ralphie’s Green Stampede established the nation’s first car-free, zero waste tailgate on Franklin Field. Every tailgate party gets a bag prepared with compostable and recyclable cookware from Eco Products and Ball to reduce plastic use. The RGS Zero Waste team manages waste on the field and engages fans on how to adopt more sustainable behaviors at tailgates.

Tailgate parties on Franklin Field will have a chance to be named Ralphie's Green Stampede Tailgater of the Game. One tailgate tent each game is named the Ralphie’s Green Stampede Tailgater of the Game. 

As Tailgater of the Game, you’ll receive a Ralphie’s Green Stampede Tailgater of the Game flag to display for the rest of the season!
