Round 2 of the Great American Tailgate challenge has arrived, and Rams fans have pushed street tacos into a high‑energy matchup after a strong Round 1 performance. LA advanced with a clear margin, showing that the city’s signature tailgate flavor resonates far beyond Southern California.
The challenge is a joint partnership between USA TODAY and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, who are teaming up for a nationwide celebration of the foods that define football culture across all 32 NFL cities.
Now, street tacos face Las Vegas tri‑tip — a dish that also dominated Round 1 and enters this matchup with serious momentum. This is a West Coast showdown between two beloved staples: fresh, vibrant tacos versus smoky, sliced tri‑tip.
Every vote cast not only helps Los Angeles advance but also enters fans into a giveaway for a **$1,000 Pro Football Hall of Fame merchandise gift card**. One lucky voter will walk away with the chance to load up on Hall of Fame apparel, collectibles, and memorabilia.
This contest is part of a nationwide celebration in Canton highlighting the food identity of all 32 NFL cities — a showcase of regional pride, fan passion, and the traditions that make tailgating one of America’s greatest rituals.
So ramp it up, Rams fans. Cast your vote, rep your city, and help street tacos sprint past a powerful challenger.
