I’ve been to about 1/3 of the MLB ballparks and this is what I remember:

Have tailgates:
Royals
White Sox
Rangers
Brewers

Don’t have tailgates:
Reds
Pirates
Orioles
Rays
Marlins
Cardinals
Tigers
Indians

What other teams do you know have tailgates? Obviously the ones located in downtowns can’t have any, but I’m just interested in which baseball fans do them.

Oakland A’s fans would be out tailgating when I was a kid. I assume they still do.

Rangers always have a HUGE tailgate for opening day but that hasn't happened yet this year if at all(Thanks China). SF Giants have no room for tailgating but the stadium is surrounded by bars & restaurants. Great underrated atmosphere. I wouldn't want to attempt to tailgate at L.A. I cherish my life.

Not technically a tailgate, but Wrigleyville is a lot of fun before and after Cubs games. Same concept, just bars instead of a parking lot

Angels have the space, but nobody really does from my experience.

there really is no "tailgating" at dodger stadium but, as anyone whose ever been would know, there are a bunch of mexicans who cook danger dogs in the parking lot before and after games

Was in Milwaukee with my family this summer and we caught a Brewers game.
We rolled up expecting to go to a bar (they're from STL so theyre used to BPV and all that with a bunch of bars around). Come to find out there is nothing but people setting up tents and shite for tailgating. We were pretty shook. Looked like an LSU gameday out there

Not really “tailgating” going on at Rockies games, but I always go to the bars around Coors Field before the games, and they are packed with Rockies fans pregaming.

I second this about Milwaukee, fun as hell. These people aren't playing and inside the stadium the drinking continues.

Rangers have a good tailgate for opening day, like was already mentioned. We also have good ones for weekend games and the postseason.

Now we do have Texas Live now with the new ballpark so I’m interested to see how much of a dent that puts in to the tailgating if any.

The tailgating game was strong at Turner Field. Now most of the parking is in decks, but there is no need to tailgate since they have a ton of bars and restaurants in the area around the stadium. The restaurants even have street facing bar windows so you can grab a beer and walk around the complex.

Yes, they do have room for all 3 families of A's fans to tailgate in the parking lot.

I remember seeing some tailgating outside of Busch 2 near the rail yard in the early 90's. This was the only thing we had to look forward to because August Busch III was running the team into the ground.

Citi has a couple tents of regulars I suppose but I normally just pound beers in the city and take the 7 train to queens.
