Tailgating to a football game is an essential part to the whole game attending experience! It gives you a chance to gather with friends to discuss game details, eat good food, and rally each other up for the game. Here in the Bay Area we are extra lucky because the world renowned Chef Michael Mina is a huge Niner’s fan!

Chef Michael Mina has been a dedicated tailgater for nearly 30 years ever since the former games at Candlestick Park. His epic tailgate parties with friends and families were famous and of course well sought after. Now Levi’s Stadium Season Ticket holders have the exclusive opportunity to become Michael Mina’s
Tailgate members.

We had the privilege of getting a small glimpse of what members experience every home game (at least 10 a season). Doors open four hours prior to kick-off with amazing selections such as a raw bar, sushi, burgers, Bloody Mary bar, and so much more! Every event has a special guest chef that cooks up a couple unique dishes that can only be tasted for that event. Did we mention everything is buffet style with unlimited helpings? Pair that with an open bar and big screen TVs everywhere and your tailgate dreams can’t get any better!


You can stay at the tailgate till the end of the game but a section of the tailgate is closed during the third quarter. Most attendees enjoy everything pre game and head into the stadium once the game starts. During half time many come back for some refills since all the food and drink options are still available. You can also choose to stay at the tailgate throughout the whole game to watch on the many big screens throughout the area (like we did!).
