Despite a global recession, Adam Goldstein felt 2008 was the
perfect time to invest in his lifelong passion. He sold his flat
and left his job and his girlfriend in London for American
football. His goal was to achieve what no other American football
fan has accomplished: attend one live National Football League
(NFL) game, including those in London and Canada, at every NFL
stadium during the regular season. He traveled over 65,000 miles to
watch 40 American football games in 18 weeks and experience and
understand the phenomenal appeal of that classic American pastime,
the tailgate party. He drove from stadium to stadium, tailgate to
tailgate, sometimes 800 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, and in the process of football self-discovery, he found
himself often embraced by NFL fans across the continent, as if he
had the key that unlocked the very meaning of life. Tailgate to
Heaven is a humourous, moving, and inspiring story about how
nothing closes the cultural gap like love of the game and
camaraderie.
