Jimmy's Seafood runs one of the NFL's most famous fan tailgates!
John Minadakis owns Jimmy's Famous Seafood in Baltimore, known for fierce Ravens loyalty and viral sports trash-talk videos. The Tailgoat is his stadium-adjacent fan hub — so he knows a thing or two about welcoming rival fans.
The Tailgoat grew from 24 fans in 1996 to 2,500 over ~28 years!
When the Ravens relocated from Cleveland in 1996, a 13-year-old's first solo project brought 24 fans together with beer and cold cuts. That humble gathering grew organically into a 2,500-person event — roughly 100x its original size.
