MeatEater—recognized for its expertise in hunting, wild game cooking, and outdoor storytelling—will hit the road this fall alongside Athletes First, the country’s premiere NFL agency. Celebrating the seasonal connection between football and hunting, the Tour will capture the outdoor personality of each local market, from fishing to food to hunting, before activating at each stadium prior to gameday.

Each 3-hour tailgate event will include a number of engaging experiences for attendees to participate in from wild game delicacies they can eat to being able to meet with First Lite and MeatEater Pro Staff plus the opportunity to win a bevy of prizes from sponsors of the MeatEater Tailgate Tour.

Attendees will be treated to freshly cooked buffalo chili, free of charge and prepared by the MeatEater Crew and friends from the local culinary scene. First come, first served!
First Lite will be on-site, showcasing their all-new and reengineered whitetail system. Developed based on detailed product feedback from the most dedicated whitetail hunters, the new gear breaks the mold of the common seasonal system.
