Member Bio:
The Swoopin’ D Tailgate the gateway to the “Murph”, and “Where a tailgate never loses” started off as a small group of family and friends and has grown into one of the biggest parties in the parking lot. Our founder is Mr. Jesse “Swoopin’ D” Constancio who has been a life-long Chargers fan and a very involved community activist had a vision to make the fan experience grow, and it has so much that has created a “super-charged” monster with-in the concrete jungle we call Q.
The Swoopin’ D tailgate is a collection of tight knit diehard Charger fanatics/tailgaters. When you are at a Swoopin’ D Tailgate you are family and everyone in this family’s middle name is “Party”! Our tailgate always blast the preeminent sounds from DJ Phobik, so there's plenty of “shimmies going down in the streets”. When in thirst stop by “Father Rudy’s bar” who is a licensed mixologist/ bartender and will definitely put fuel in your tank to keep your motor running from the first morning group shot until long after the game has concluded.
Each stall in our tailgate has a varying menu, we do it “lot-luck style” which is a highly coordinated together so that all the eclectic tastes meet together to sing to your pallet. We pride ourselves on our wide variety of delicious tailgate food. Everybody is welcome at a Swoopin D Tailgate, just look for the 30 foot long Banner or the 25 foot tall “Tiny Dancer” in A4 north, come ready to have a great time. We are a group of passionate football and tailgate fans and love having similar friends from around the country come join us.
