Tailgate Lot News Digest #3

Here's some tailgating news from around the net:

Horse lovers make Fair Hill tailgate contest family tradition

From Maryland crab cakes to National Red Velvet cakes, fascinators to Gainsborough hats, what’s happening at the tailgate can be more interesting than what’s happening on the track.

Dierks Bentley: 'I love' checking out fan tailgating parties at my shows

If you snag tickets to see country-music superstar Dierks Bentley on his North American "Riser" tour, be sure to bring your tailgating supplies. The Grammy-nominated artist wants fans to party it up in the parking lot.

"Man, the parking lot scene — as a country fan, that's kind of what you go there for," Bentley told TODAY's Savannah Guthrie Tuesday. "Tailgating, getting out there, seeing your friends, hangin' out ... It's what everyone does on the weekend. And so we get a chance to be the show, the entertainment." 

Baylor will use old Floyd Casey turf on tailgating area

They are going to use it on the ground of the tailgating area at McLane Stadium.

Kentucky Derby Infield Tour

Unless you live under a rock, you may have heard some say today may be the best Sports Saturday of the year. Well, we only have one thing on our mind today, and that is, “Why aren’t we in the Kentucky Derby Infield right this minute??” Join Marcus Riley as he takes you on a tour of good ‘ol times mixed in with a little debauchery. The video is two years old, but we are pretty sure that the same rules still apply. And if you need any tips on how to sneak alcohol into a venue, be sure to pay attention around the 2-minute mark.
