Football season is almost here.  If this is your first time being invited to go to a game (either at a house or the stadium) here are some rules you should follow.

We've all gone to a game where someone completely ruins the experience for just about everyone there. Maybe they're too drunk, or they just can't follow social cues, somehow it happens every time.

This full list is meant to get everyone on the same page and avoid any confusion about what's expected.

There are two separate lists at the end of this post.  The first is for people who are going to watch the game on a TV in someone else's house.  If you're going to be at your own house, obviously you can do whatever you want.  But in other people's houses, a certain level of etiquette should be upheld.

Then there's another list for people who are actually going to the game at the stadium. These rules are going to be a little different than if you're going to watch it at someone's house.  Regardless, they're all things you should be aware of.

For those who go to games a lot they may seem like common sense.  They're not a lot different than rules for going to other parties.  But you'd be surprised how many people don't throw parties often and forget about things like stocking the fridge the night before, or ordering your food so that it has enough time to get there before the third quarter.

There are a couple of things that Buffalonians take seriously. Football, food, drinking, and tailgating are all on the list.  You don't want to be the person who disrespects any of those things.

So here are a few things to keep in mind next time you're invited to join a tailgate or a house party for the game:
