Task

For a tailgate Idea, I would get a food most people enjoy, such as Costco Pizza, some games like corn hole, spikeball, and some fun activities or services like face paint. Something else fun would be some rally towels or something for them to bring to the activity to help cheer.

This would encourage attendance by making it more fun and hype and give them something to do in common with each other to become more connected.
