Away Game Tailgates: We ask for several sets of parents to volunteer to ‘host’ a tailgate at away games. (We have many players and therefore, many parents. As such, no one should have to do more than one game.)Tony & Sue Liberatore are responsible for coordinating who signs up for what game. (SLib518@aol.com) They DO NOT do coordinating the groups for each game. Very shortly, Sue will be putting out an email letting everyone know who the groups are for each away game. It then becomes the responsibility of the group that volunteered to coordinate among themselves what food will be served at their tailgate. It would be nice if each group of parents tries to diversify their menu from game to game so the food isn’t the same each week. But we also understand that people can do what they can do, and are just happy to have volunteers. 

Home Tailgates:All home game tailgating is done in the grassy area to the left of the home stands (as you look at the field from the main entrance parking lot.)All families are on their own for food at home tailgates, except for Homecoming Weekend. For this weekend only, the Football Alumni & Alumni Relations Office host a tailgate for families and the team. (more on this later)If you attend the home games, and are planning to tailgate with your player and family, PLEASE bring extra food to ensure that all of the players have a chance to eat. Not every boys’ parents will be able to attend the games and we want them to have as much of an opportunity to partake in the tailgating as those whose families can attend.

F&M is known for its strong tradition of tailgating. Most families tailgate at every home and away game. For those families who live too far to attend each game, rest assured that the Football Parents Group provides food and drink for all F&M players after each game.

To our new F&M families, we kow you will enjoy tailgaiting with us and we look forward to meeting you. We know you will enjoy the experience.

Parents are encouraged to bring food for their families. There is a small concession stand at the F&M home games if you want a snack. 

For freshmen families, we know you will have many questions. We invite you to contact any of the volunteer parents identified on the Parents Group Committees.
