The Maryland Terrapins have had a less than stellar season, but we still love going to the games and tailgating before them. However, when the weather for a recent home game was expected to be under 50 degrees with heavy rain, we, and our friends who tailgate with us, decided to forego the party in tents. Orlando and I offered to host everyone at our house (including several that don't normally come to the games) for a full day of football and fun, complete with all the food that we would have had at the tailgate. What we ended up with was a great party.
The kids found lots to keep them busy with Anastasia's toys, markers and crayons, and movies upstairs. There was a lot of collaborative play, and a bit of jumping on the bed, but no fighting and no one got hurt.
For part of the party, there were two games being monitored, so we set up a small Penn State viewing section in the kitchen. They were closer to the food, anyway, so no one seemed to mind the size of the TV.
A very long day (first guests arrived at 11:30 and we went to bed about 11:00), but it was a lot of fun.

Those of us who don't think it's fun to stand in parking lots had a blast!
Try the parking lot sometime, you might just find you like it.
