PLEASE SUPPORT ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC NEW ORGANIZATIONS IN SPORTS -
FAV…..Fans Against Violence
About Fans Against Violence
Mission Statement
It is FAVs mission to encourage fan safety at professional sporting events through education, discussion and partnerships with like-minded organizations. We believe that attending sporting events is an act of fellowship and community between fans, and that each person who attends a professional sporting event should feel safe and be protected by the hosting facility and franchise.
FAV is a fan-based organization. We represent and include all fan bases and promote friendly rivalries. Stereotypes and misconceptions have played an adverse role within rivalries, increasing and encouraging hostility between opposing fans. Through our mission, we hope to provide fans a platform where this hostility can be diffused. Quite simply, we are all far more alike than we realize. If we don’t work together to improve the climate of our sporting events, the leagues, venues, and government will impose further limits and regulations upon us. Let’s work together to take a stand in Taking Back The Stands.
Their Story
There was some concern about sharing the context in which FAV came about. The simple fact that there was some concern made it even more clear that FAV was needed. See, we’re Raider fans.
We know the stereotypes and we know the resistance that is met when we identify ourselves as part of Raider Nation. So yes, we do own computers and we have jobs and/or are students. We’ve never been to jail, none of us have records. Not a neck tattoo in the bunch. We don’t drink too much at games or start fights. Some of us are parents, good ones at that, and we all donate time and or money to local causes. Like most Raider fans, we’re good decent people.
The savage beating of Bryan Stow at Dodgers Stadium on March 31, 2011 was hard to comprehend, even while knowing the extreme rivalry between the Giants and Dodgers. Then came the Battle of the Bay, Raiders at 49ers on August 20, 2011. The fights and post game shootings have been well documented. To say we were greatly affected by theses incidents is an understatement. Not only were we dismayed that our Bay Area rivalry had reached such violent peaks, we were disheartened to see how our fan base was slandered and depicted. What made it worse was watching some Raider fans revel in it.
If this was just a ‘Raider thing’ or just a ‘California thing’, we wouldn’t be so driven to reach out. But this can occur anywhere, even in your stadium or arena. Let’s work together to make sure it never happens.
Our hope is that FAV will be the springboard for discussion and action across fan bases. We have a lot of ideas that we’ll explore as FAV grows. Your participation is crucial and we are looking forward to you sharing your stories, ideas and pictures.
Our immediate function will be to:
▪ Provide resources for a safe game day experience
▪ News and editorials on stories regarding fan safety and violent incidents
▪ Calling bad journalism to the carpet for reinforcing fan stereotypes
▪ Connecting with organizations to promote fan events and increase communication between fan bases

"I cover alot more than just tailgating to sporting events i.e. Band tours, (We provide food and transportation for band members to sites), Casio trips, and Candidate Campaigns.The sky is the limit. We can cover groups from 8-30. The max number for riding in the RV is 11, but others can join once on site. We have picked up groups at the airport, taken them to their event, and then returned them to the airport. Our menu is designed to their specifications. From Sushi to ribs, chicken to Steak, we cover it all, based on what the customer orders. RV Butler is centrally located so I can cover : University of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State, and Minnesota. As for NFL teams, we cover Bears, Colts, and Packers. Most of our trips are same day, but we can provide hotel reservations (at an additional cost). We have two packages. Tailgating with the above, plus tickets, or tailgating without tickets. (tickets at additional cost)
We cover all major sporting events from NFL, MLB, Golf, and NCAA events. From football, to women's softball we can design a trip specifically for our guest."

Our 2 Absolute Faves -"Tailgating and Beer"
We welcome our new friends @ Tailgate Beer
TailGate Beer offers a robust entry at the intersection of two fast-growing markets: craft beer and tailgating. Both of these markets have experienced annual sales growth of more than 10% per year for the past five years. The beer industry is currently split between slow-growing, large, domestic and imported beers and fast-growing, ultra-artisan, less drinkable, and expensive craft beers. Market research shows an unsatisfied demand for an affordable, hand-crafted, high-consumption beer that is both tasty and drinkable. TailGate Beer has award winning products and distribution models to fill that market void.

TAILGATE TO HEAVEN
An Inspiring Book For Every Tailgater and Roadtrip Junkie
"Brit" Adam Goldstein drove from stadium to stadium, tailgate to tailgate, sometimes eight hundred miles a day, digesting everything that American football could serve up. He met players and extreme fans alike and was party to surreal pregame rituals while absorbing the rich cultural differences of each part of the country. During his football odyssey—a grueling yet rewarding quest—he compared sports traditions and fandom in the United Kingdom and the United States. In the process of football self-discovery, Goldstein often found himself embraced by NFL fans across the continent, as if he had the key that unlocked the very meaning of life.
"Through Adam's travels, Tailgate to Heaven is a rarity. Through a sports junkie who realizes his dream (which I can certainly relate to), this book certainly captures the very essence of this great American pasttime of Tailgating. Adam's tales from his adventure, along with dispelling some misconceptions of the hardcore NFL fan, exemplify the social intercourse that is the party in the lot, which remains the greatest brand builder for the league Adam loves. As do we!"
Gridiron Chef & Tailgate Radio Network Executive Producer - "Doc" Dockeray
Catch Adam on Tailgate Radio Network's NFL Fan Show - "Beyond The Field" appearing TBA this month
