STATESBORO, Ga. – For Eagle fans who have self-proclaimed themselves as the best tailgate chef in the Eagle Nation, there will be an official Tailgate Cook-Off prior to the Saturday, April 12th Blue-White Spring game to prove the point. In addition to bragging rights, a trophy for the team or individual that makes the top tailgate tidbits wins the grand prize of four tickets to the Georgia Southern-Georgia Tech football game and one-night hotel stay for the game in Atlanta. The contest will take place in tailgate lot west of Paulson Stadium.
Eagle fans are invited to serve as tasting judges and may purchase a wristband for $2 per person to enter the tailgate zone, sample the entries, and complete a ballot to determine the top three. Scores from the tasting judges will be tabulated and winners will be announced during the Blue-White Spring game. Tasting will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude at 11:30 a.m.
To enter the contest, a team or individual must RSVP by Wednesday, April 9th, via online registration and pay the $10 cash fee per entry on site on April 12th. All teams or individuals are responsible for providing their own food and equipment for cooking and will be allowed only one vehicle inside the cook-off zone.
The trophy and top prize, presented to the tailgate chef or team with the highest number of votes for serving the tastiest tailgate fare, wins four tickets to the Georgia Southern-Georgia Tech football game and one-night hotel stay in Atlanta. The second-place winner wins an autographed football, a Georgia Southern fan pack, two tickets, two field passes and two concessions vouchers for a 2014 Georgia Southern home game. Two concession vouchers and two tickets to an Eagles home game go to the third-place winner.
