A US sports and pop-culture term for hosting or attending a tailgate-style party from the comfort of your own home rather than the stadium parking lot. Think team jerseys, cold drinks, grilled food, and the pregame show blasting on the TV. Homegating gained major mainstream traction when fans couldn't attend games in person and discovered that hosting a proper spread at home could rival the real thing.
We decided to homegate instead of fighting traffic, so we set up the grill in the backyard and watched the kickoff from the couch.
