If you want to cook meat in a parking lot, you come to Kansas City. Food & Wine has a list of "America's Best Tailgaiting Cities," and leading off the slideshow is KC. Here's F&W's summation of our tailgaiting prowess:

Before each game, Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt strolls through the grounds visiting fans, a tradition started by his father, team founder Lamar Hunt. Kansas City-style barbecue is a draw, but Hunt believes Arrowhead Stadium's massive facilities are a primary reason that Chiefs tailgating is so popular. "We can park 25,000 cars and still have plenty of room for tailgating," he says.

Perhaps that's why everyone is so obsessed with parking in Kansas City. We always just want to have enough room to tailgate.
