The results on the field have been spotty for the Texans during their 14 seasons.
But the action in the NRG Stadium parking lot apparently is championship-caliber.
Houston has been crowned the top tailgating city in pro football by Joe Cahn, who's known as the "Commissioner of Tailgating."
Cahn ranked the top 10 tailgating markets using the following criteria:
- Quality of tailgating food
- Number of fans participating
- Common courtesy and a welcoming attitude towards visiting fans
- Early arrivals to maximize socializing in the parking lot
- Amount of parking available
"I bet you hear 'everything is bigger in Texas' a lot, but when it comes to the tailgating scene, it most definitely applies!
