Summary
Fans use the harbor as a means of getting to and from the games, with some excellent tailgating in between.What makes it better than the University of Tennessee's similar boat-driven tailgate scene?"Huskies fans view their harbor as unparalleled, based on surrounding views (Cascade Mountains to the east, Olympic Mountains to the west), water color (blue as opposed to brown) and proximity (closer to the stadium)," Greg Bishop of the New York Times wrote.Thousands of fans reach the stadium by boat on game days, making it one of the most unique venues in sports and a tailgate tradition worthy of inclusion.Washington and Tennessee may disagree about who does "sailgating" better, but both schools deserve a spot on this list.The inception of Vol Navy comes with a fun backstory that ties directly into the football team, according to the Vol Navy Boaters' Association website:"Today's Vol Navy had its humble beginnings in the early 1960's, thanks to veteran Tennessee broadcaster George Mooney who provided play-by-play for the Vols from 1952-1967.
