Ever wanted to tailgate with hundreds of Tampa's finest inside the comfort of a huge, indoor arena?  How about with all the big games on, tons of great food from local restaurants, drinks, and more - all for a great charitable cause?

Well, now you can.

The time has returned for the 12th Annual Tampa Tailgate - going down on Saturday, September 7 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.  Join hundreds of Tampa sports fans as they converge in the forum to watch some great, Saturday night college football and enjoy food/drinks from event sponsors including The Brass Tap, Beef O Brady's, Smokey Bones, Blue Bell Ice Cream, Louis Pappas, Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, Timpano's Chop House, The Columbia, CDB's Southside, Catch Twenty Three, and World of Beer.

Deemed the Ultimate Indoor Tailgate Party, the celebration will kick off at 6 p.m. and run until 10 p.m. There will also be a silent auction with a number of sought after sports memorabilia and vacation getaways available for grabs.

Best of all, proceeds from the 12th Annual Tampa Tailgate benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and their efforts to help find a cure for the debilitating effects of CF.

Individual tickets start at $100 ($53 of which is tax deductible).  Discount group rates for parties of 4 or more are available.  For tickets and more information, visit www.tampatailgate.com.
