Here’s a fun stat for sports fans: 61% of people say that pregaming is actually better than the game itself.
And it’s because it’s way more relaxed, plus you have easy access to food, drinks, and a bathroom.
But here’s something new: A recent survey polled 5,000 sports fans and found that Americans now prefer a “homegate” rather than a traditional tailgate.
That’s just like a tailgate, except you’re doing it at home, in air-conditioning, instead of a parking lot next to the stadium.
And, according to the survey, the ideal pre-game hangout begins roughly two and a half hours before the game, it includes 11 people, six different foods, and six different drinks.
