Our Story

We are a group of hardcore Rutgers Football Fans- not bandwagoners. We started tailgating in 1991 as undergrads, graduated in 1995 and returned to the central jersey area around 1998. In 1998, we started as a group of 2 and now have expanded to 20+. We don't mess around with our tailgating and take it very seriously. Our favorite tailgates in the past have included a Buffalo themed tailgate, surf and turf, kegs and eggs and many other themes. We are a host friendly group.

Fun Group

Our team is pretty diverse, we have multiple kids at our tailgates and the age range is anywhere from 20-45. You can find us in the Blue Lot. Just look for the Red Tailgate Haven Flag.

Our Ride

Our black Honda Ridgeline is the official Tailgate Vehicle, although we have a few SUV's and Minivans that also help. The Honda is a great car because of the dual action tailgate, the cooler with drain built into the trunk and also you can hang out in the bed of the truck.

Our schedule is pretty consistent. We hit all the home games and try to make some of the road games.

For classic game day grub

you need to wander down to College Ave and experience the Grease Trucks. Basically these are parked trucks which serve food. It doesn’t sound too appetizing to me, but the students love them.

Stuff Yer Face

has a reputation for excellent strombolis and a great selection of beer. Looking for Pizza and Subs--look here they all deliver. Jimmy's Grill has people raving about their Fat Sandwiches. Harold's Offers huge NY Style Deli Sandwiches. Want a great burger? Try Blitzbrger. There is one next to the Olde Queen's Tavern and one in North Brunswick. Want a great dog? Try Tido N His Junk Yard Dogs. Excellent Pizza at a moderate price, try Panico's Brick Oven Pizza.

R.U. Grill and Pizza

is also noted for pizza and such. And they offer the famous “Fat Darrell”. Eat at your own risk. Many of the places above are on or near Easton Ave. the main student drag with lots of cheap eats. On Easton Ave try Thomas Sweets Ice Cream and Chocolate it is a local institution.

The Heldrich

New Brunswick's Newest Hotel
Rutgers lacks the close by hotels/motels where you can walk to the game. Some folks will walk from the Heldrich and Hyatt but check out a map first and decide for yourself. Note: Three bridges from east to west allow you to cross the Raritan on foot. 1. The Rt-27 (Albany St. Bridge) goes to Highland Park Borough (pedestrians should turn left (west) at river road and walk though Johnson Park about 1.5 miles to the stadium). 2. The Rt-18 (John Lynch Bridge) goes to Piscataway (There is a pedestrian walkway on this bridge that is part of the inter-campus ped/bikeway system. It leads directly to the Busch tailgating areas near the stadium, and continues to the RAC). 3. The Landing Lane Bridge (there is a pedestrian walkway - Landing Lane leads directly to the South end of Rutgers Stadium. A walkway leads up the hill to the West Gate). Walking is a viable option for those who do not mind a one to two mile walk from New Brunswick.
