This weekend, 8 30-somethings are hitting the road (from Toronto, Canada) and heading to the fine city of Cleveland, where we plan on partying for a few nights, before heading to a Browns game to watch them pummel the 'Skins. We would love to tailgate our asses off, but are inexperienced, and are seeking advice.

Basically we'd like to show up with a cooler full of beer, some folding chairs, a football, Browns gear, and an appetite. (We're happy to purchase some burgers/sausages off of another party, if that's an option.)

I'm wondering if you guys have any advice? Should we just show up and join another party? Or should we plan on bringing our own bbq and cooking ourselves?

Thanks!
