Those who plan to attend a tailgate party display unique preferences. Keep reading to learn what makes tailgate partiers stand apart. 

Over half (54%) of those who plan to attend a tailgate party are curious about a sober lifestyle, which means it may be time to add a non-alcoholic beverage to the game-day menu.  

Those who plan to tailgate this year are nearly three times as likely to have made a purchase from Sephora in the last three months. 

Thirty percent of tailgaters identify as vegetarian or vegan, while 21% only eat meat ‘occasionally.’ So expect to see a few veggie burgers on the grill. 

Despite loving a tailgate experience, tailgaters are twice as likely as those who skip the party to get 8-10 hours of sleep each night (24% vs 12%). 

Those who plan on tailgating are more than twice as likely to like the brand Rolex (77% vs 29%). So prepare for some flashy timepieces. 

Clearly, tailgaters bring the same passion and personality to their lifestyles as they do to game day, making them more than just fans, but full-on players in every aspect of their lives.
