We will be in town for the first game of the season, the Chargers vs the Chicago Bears. Is there anything to know before you get to the stadium? We most likely will not have a car to park in the lot, but will bring food and drink... and drink and more drink.

where are u staying? take the trolley to game its cheap and easy---they will let you bring coolers and food you just cant drink on the train---go out to the south west area of parking lot you will find a huge chargers party with poker games and lots of food and drink---i always park in the corner all charger fans welcome to eat drink and maybe smoke some--- bring whatever food you want and throw it on the grill i bring plenty of charcoal---come on by and grab a seat and watch some direct tv sunday ticket----GO BOLTS!!!!!

Humm as having food and drink, without a car to bring it in, I am perplexed as how you would bring it in.
Anyway there is a trolley system that does have a stop at the Murph(offically now Qualcomm Stadium, but since that is a bogus corporate name the place was Jack Murphy Stadium) So you can get there without a car.

how hard is it really to tailgate?

Yes. Make sure you dock your boat at the pier to the South of the stadium. Pick up your sushi and wine before arriving. Please only stand during the national anthem. Also, be sure not to spill anything as we wouldn't want stains on our powder blue jerseys.

come to cleveland and watch the pros at work. browns fans are the best at tailgaiting.
GO BROWNS!
