Basically it's a gathering of friends in the parking lot of a stadium either before, during or after a game. Usually there's food and beer involved. It's called a "tailgate" party because usually the tailgate of a truck serves as either seats or beer table for the party-goers. Here's a "textbook" definition: http://www.askmen.com/money/how_to_150/171_how_to.html

And the pics.

Stage 1: the Basic Tailgate Party -- a couple of friends, a couple of beers, good laughs and good times





Stage 2: the Medium party -- a grill, some food, more beers, and often a few more people





Stage 3: no-holds-barred, full on crazy HUGE party -- tents, large groups, lots of beer, sometimes a catered meal, often a big-screen TV, occasionally a live band
