Arkansas Razorback tailgaters are spending hundreds of dollars on their annual outdoor parties. Several fans admitted to spending at least $200 on meat, sodas and drinks. "It`s something we love to do because the whole family can participate in it," said Jamey Johnson of little Rock. One family said they spent as much as $500. Analysts say it not uncommon for people to spend money on recreation during a downturn in the economy. Some fans arrived as early as Monday to stake out the best tailgating spot.
