Hey, youse guys — it’s Sunday Funday, football edition! A full-blown celebration where we show off our diehard passion for the Birds!
From the crack of dawn, tailgaters flood the parking lots, turning them into a sea of green. You can hear the sizzle of cheesesteaks, the clink of cold ones, and of course, the E-A-G-L-E-S chants creating a palpable feeling of unmistakable gameday anticipation. If you’re also a fan of keeping the vibes right with another kind of local “GREEN”, then, it’s about damn time that we show you how to take your Philly tailgate to legendary status — with a little help from Brotherly Bud adult-use dispensary, of course.
Let’s Start With the Essentials
In Philly, tailgating is a cherished tradition both at the stadium or kicking it at home. From food to flower, here’s how to create that perfect Philly football-style Sunday Funday, no matter where you are.
Get the Classic Foods
Whether you’re firing up the grill in the parking lot of The Linc or setting up your watch party at home, the menu is a non-negotiable.
To make your game day truly memorable, here are the Brotherly Bud recommendations:
- Whatever your favorite spot might be, (we are dying to try Angelo’s Pizza of South Philly) cheesesteaks are a must. Thinly sliced steak, melty cheese (take your pick between wiz or provolone, cooper sharp or American, onion and peppers, pizza style, or classic), all that goodness packed into a toasty hoagie roll. As messy and wonderful as the great city that made them famous. (Current fave spots: Jim’s or Tony Luke’s. The Order: with American cheese raw and cooked onions!)
- If you’re not a cheesesteak kind of person, you can’t go wrong with a classic burger (Cousin’s Burger has 5 stars on Google — can’t wait to try! And of course, you can never go wrong with OH BROTHER). If you’re kicking it at home, try using your stovetop griddle or cast iron pan to get that authentic sear, and if you’re not toasting that bun then what are you even doing?!
- Make sure to stock up on some Philly soft pretzels, best served warm and topped with a generous sprinkle of salt, with spicy mustard on the side for dipping.
- You know you gotta stack that table with chips, nachos, and mouth-watering hot wings paired with Ranch! Do not judge!
- Don’t forget the hoagies — layered with deli meats, sharp provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and that essential drizzle of oil and vinegar, mayo, or hoagie spread. Freaking amazing!
- If you are at the stadium, Xfinity, or watching the game from their restaurant itself, Chickie’s & Pete’s Crab Fries are a necessity and taste just like an Eagles victory!
Set Up is Key
If you’re at the game, tailgating is all about the setup. You’ve gotta have pop-up tents, foldable chairs, grills smoking with all the best eats. You can’t forget a folding table packed with chips, dips, and all that jawn. There’s gotta be lawn games like cornhole, ladder toss, and football throws between friends.
If you’re at home, you can still bring the tailgating spirit into your backyard or even your living room. If you have outdoor space, fire up a small grill or use an indoor grill pan to keep those cheesesteaks and burgers coming. Of course, decorate with team flags, balloons, or even a DIY scoreboard to amp up the energy!
Bring the Vibes
No Philly tailgate is complete without the perfect mix of music and entertainment to set the mood. The soundtrack to a Philly tailgate is as important as the food!
Must-Have Tailgate Playlist
- You have to play “Dreams and Nightmares” by Meek Mill, which is basically the unofficial anthem of Philly.
- Add some classic rock, throwback hip-hop, and even the iconic Rocky theme song to get everyone in the spirit.
- For extra fun, set up a karaoke station featuring Philly anthems and let guests belt out their best renditions—because nothing says “unforgettable tailgate” like memories everyone wishes they could forget!
Cannabis & Tailgating: Elevate Your Tailgate
Cannabis has become a popular addition to tailgating, offering fans a way to unwind, connect, and fully immerse themselves in the game day vibe. Let’s get into how incorporating cannabis into your tailgating routine can elevate the experience and make your Sunday Funday truly legendary.
Don’t forget, if you’re the one in charge of bringing buds to the tailgate for all your buds – make sure to stop by Brotherly Bud on your way to the festivities – 10% off when you wear your Eagles gear on all Game Days!
Benefits of Incorporating Cannabis into the Tailgating Routine
- Relaxation: Game days can be high-energy and sometimes a little stressful (especially if the game is close). Cannabis can help bring a sense of calm to the atmosphere, keeping nerves in check while you cheer on your team.
- Heightened Enjoyment: Cannabis has a way of boosting mood and sensory experiences. The music sounds better, the food tastes even more delicious, and the vibe feels on point.
- Brotherly Love Bonding: Sharing a joint or swapping stories over edibles can create strong connections among friends and fans. It’s the perfect conversation starter and a great way to bond over a shared love for the game.

- Pre-rolls: For those who like simplicity, Brotherly Bud’s pre-rolls are a game-changer. Try a sativa-dominant strain to keep energy levels up and spirits high during pre-game festivities or an indica strain for a more relaxed post-game wind-down.

Tips for Responsible Consumption
Keeping your cool when consuming cannabis is key to making sure everyone has a good time, high or not. If you’re bringing some green to game day, keep these tips in mind:
- Know Your Dosage: Tailgating can be an all-day affair, so make sure you’re pacing yourself. Start with a small dose, especially if you’re new to edibles or haven’t consumed in a while.
- Stay Hydrated: Cannabis, mixed with a full day of cheering and snacking, can easily lead to dehydration. Keep water bottles handy, and encourage your friends to stay hydrated, too.
- Designate a Driver: If you’re tailgating at the stadium, make sure someone in your group is the designated driver or have a rideshare option lined up.
- Be Mindful of Your Surroundings: Not everyone loves the smell of cannabis as much as we do, so be respectful to those around you.
