College football is back in a big way at Colorado State University.

While the action on the field gets most of the attention, the Rams football experience starts in the surrounding practice fields and parking lots across the Colorado State campus.

It's a pre-party open to everyone. And it's definitely worth checking out at least once this season, whether you are attending the game or not.

Before you go, here are three things to know and how to tailgate like a champ.
