We tried tailgating, the American pre-match tradition | OneFootball

Tailgating, the pre-match ritual of grilling in the car park hours before kick-off, was on show in Boston ahead of France-Norway, which ended 4-1.

According to L'Équipe, supporters in the United States often drive to the stadium well in advance to share food and turn the build-up into a celebration.

Before this match, many American ticket-holders kept to that custom outside the stadium in Boston.

The piece captured two hours on the car park among families and groups of friends, as regulars outlined the appeal of the tradition.

Commonplace before American football games, the practice was widely observed here too.
