New research has identified the top states for tailgating, with Louisiana and Alabama leading the way. A survey of 5,000 self-described American tailgaters and homegaters found that residents of these states believe they have the secret to the perfect tailgate. The survey revealed that Louisianians and Alabamians are among the most confident in their tailgating abilities, with 78% and 76% of respondents respectively claiming to have the best approach.

The survey also looked at homegating habits, finding that Alabama, Texas, and Wisconsin have the highest percentage of residents who claim to host top-tier pre-game parties at home. Further details on the survey's findings are available from the source.
