Milwaukee, WI, September 13, 2026 —

A recent survey conducted by Talker Research has highlighted Louisiana and Alabama as the premier states for tailgating enthusiasts. The study, which aimed to identify leading states in fan gathering traditions, placed these two states at the top of its rankings for pre-game celebrations.

Beyond the tradition of tailgating, the survey also delved into the phenomenon of “homegating,” where fans gather at private residences to watch sporting events. In this category, Alabama, Texas, and Wisconsin were identified as having the strongest homegating cultures. The specific methodology and criteria used by Talker Research to determine these rankings were not detailed in the provided information.

The survey results offer insights into the passionate fan bases across different regions of the United States. While specific details regarding the number of participants, the geographic scope of the survey beyond the identified states, or the exact timeline of the research were not provided, the findings indicate a distinction between outdoor, stadium-adjacent gatherings and those held in domestic settings.

Talker Research is a survey and polling organization. Further details on the survey’s findings, including how each state’s performance was measured for both tailgating and homegating, are not presently available.
