Tailgating at Gillette Stadium20 January 2013 -- 20/365Foxboro, MassachusettsTailgating lots were expected to open 4-hours before tonight's 6:30 AFC Championship Game kickoff between the Patriots and the Ravens, however many of them opened before noon to accommodate the crowds already arriving at Gillette.  Tailgating - gathering several hours before the game for a cookout and to down a few beers - is a football tradition in the US.  Some lots cater to open fires like this one, while others allow tents and accommodate large RVs.  Traffic to the stadium was already heavy by 2:00, with a backup of at least 2 miles on I-495 exiting onto Route 1.  This fire does look hot enough to roast some raven before the game.  GO PATS!Post processing started with a brilliant warm filter in Topaz Adjust.  I adjusted adaptive exposure, contrast, and protect highlights.  A slight levels adjustment was added in PSE.
