FAQs: What's on the tailgate menu? Our chefs always try to change it up, but you will not be disappointed as we have the premier tailgate hot buffet in the parking lot! Made to order hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages, and veggie burgers. Hot trays include; chicken scarpiello, chicken parm, sausage and peppers, slow cooker BBQ pulled pork, eggplant rollitini, eggplant parm, penne a la vodka, penne marinara, home-made mac-n-cheese, hot cubano sandwiches, game day meatballs, etc. You get the point, we don't mess around when it comes to eating! This is super high end, and not your crappy box lunch or one guy on a charcoal weber trying to cook a frozen burger. Lol!
What's on the bar menu? We always keep it classy with premium booze. We are the best tailgate because we are top shelf Tito's people and not Popov . Booze typically includes Jack Daniels, Tito's, Jameson, Bombay, Fireball, Heradura, etc. You will see variety of great beers (Corona, Lagunitas, Blue Moon, All Day IPA, Bud Light, etc) , and hard seltzers (White Claw, High Noon, etc.) If you have a special request just email me and I'll see if I can make it happen. If you have to have Kettle over Tito's let me know and I'm sure I can have a special bottle just for you and your friends.
Do I need to print out my Tailgate eventbrite purchase? No. We have an electronic list, so you should be all good. It never hurts to have a backup for all those who buy last minute though.
Where is the #METLIFETAKEOVER Tailgate Party? We will be in the Charter Bus PARKING LOT L7 once they open the parking lot 4-hours before kickoff. We will then post the location or any changes on Eventbrite, and Facebook. You will see all our DOLPHINS Flags on 25' Flag Poles!
Can I come to the MetLife Takeover Tailgate Party even though I already have game tickets somewhere else? Absolutely! The more Dolphins fans the better!
Can I show up at the Tailgate party and buy a Tailgate Ticket there? Yes, but the price goes up $25 after 9/20/26, so buy now to save.
Can I bring my child? Yes, of course. This is a super fun family event! Kids under 10 years old eat free. One full paying adult per child please. No ticket neccessary just bring them to check-in with you please.
My friends are not Dolphins fans can I bring them? As long as they know that they are at a DOLPHINS party and aren't jerks, we're open to all fun, party people.
Do you have anything for vegetarians? Yes, we have a plenty of options including veggie burgers, veggie dips, penne pasta, etc
Where can I join the Dolfans NYC #METLIFETAKEOVER facebook group to find all the details? www.facebook.com/metlifetakeover/
Does my tailgate ticket get me into the game also? No. You have to buy the game ticket separately.
Are there refunds if I can't make it to the events? No. We have to plan food and drink in advance for the people committed. We buy the tickets from the team in advance and they don't refund us, so since we can't get refunded, we can't offer refunds to you. Event is rain or shine.
