Desktop Tailgate. We don't give a truck.

 What makes Desktop Tailgate different is also what makes it special. Tailgating doesn't need to take place at the stadium anymore. You don't need a truck bed to haul a grill and coolers. Digital tailgating is a realm which is vastly under explored. It's not a typical social media group page or a chat forum that is impossible to find relevant information in. With DesktopTailgate, you're able to find the fans you want to find, in your hometown, to tailgate with you.

Tailgating as a displaced fan is horrible. Living on the East coast as I do, being a 49ers fan, makes it difficult to watch many games with like minded fans. Where would I go to escape the Philadelphia Eagles, NY Giants/Jets fans? How do I avoid the Pittsburgh fans? I want to know where the other 49ers fans are around me. With DesktopTailgate it's possible.

I live in North East Pennsylvania and watch sports whenever possible. The San Francisco 49ers, New York Mets, New York Rangers, Philadelphia 76ers are my main teams of interest. I also watch WWE programming on television and the WWE Network. I usually watch most games alone, with my girlfriend or one/both of my brothers. All of whom have different interests in teams. I would enjoy watching a game with some other fans of the 49ers or the Mets. Especially during this World Series run. But aside from scouring chat forums, posting group pages or the hope of getting confronted wearing team gear in public... the options of finding fans is limited and complicated. So what's your fan story?

Where do you live and which teams do you prefer? How do you tailgate? Do you stay in the living room? Do you use a projector in the back yard? Is BBQ your specialty? Are you a displaced fan with not a lot of like minded fans in your area (that you know of)?
