By roasting a pig in a shopping cart, an Eagles fan is creating a viral moment. While tailgating the Eagles vs. Commanders NFC Championship game at Lincoln Financial Field, the fan was seen idly dragging the cart around. Why limit yourself to a simple grill when you can bring the entire shopping experience to the celebration?
You wouldn’t get a moment that makes you look twice anywhere else but Philadelphia, particularly at Lincoln Financial Field. One fan decided to take roasting to a whole new level as the Eagles got ready to play the Commanders.
When the Philadelphia Eagles played the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, January 26, thousands of Eagles supporters flocked to Lincoln Financial Field’s parking lots for a traditional tailgate experience.
While many fans were grilling their favorite game-day treats, one fan chose to wheel a roasting pig in a shopping cart to increase the ante. This fan may be the first to add a mobile element to the classic tailgate feast, as seen in a video that Frances Patano captured!
As soon as the news broke out, netizens couldn’t hold back but flooded the social media platforms with hilarious comments! Someone (@El_Bobosaurus) on X commented:
“Hahahaha what an elite cook out move”
There are benefits to roasting a whole hog over coals, particularly when the fat drips down and sizzles, adding a delectable flavor. However, you get the extra benefit of that delicious goodness leaking into your cold drinks from the bottom shelf when using the shopping cart grill. It’s the perfect combination of flavors! Tailgating during the NFC Championship is genuinely unforgettable because of this.
Who knew that the key component of the perfect tailgate might be a shopping cart? The fan is essentially multitasking as he prepares a feast and tests his cart while the pig roasts slowly. This is how tailgating will be done in the future; forget about upscale barbecues and smokers.
Now, not only is the pig enjoying the delicious smoke, but so are your beverages. We will start taking our grocery list to the next game if this is how we tailgate now, in case you need to prepare some snacks on the way!

“Don’t invite me if you don’t tailgate like this”
At a tailgate, some people bring chips, while others bring barbecues. However, one fan went further and brought a whole hog in a shopping cart to roast. This fan was pushing his food around the parking lot like it was on a grocery run while most were busy frying burgers. This is a new form of tailgating that combines DIY shopping with barbecuing. With wheels and a pig on a cart, who needs a grill?
