Nah, there's room for tons more people. And if you wanted to maximize the number of people in there, you'd probably cut out the music stage part of it.
But I think for now the "spaghetti against the wall" strategy is smart. Let the marketplace dictate what people want that area to be over the long haul.
I've had tickets since 2007, this was the first time I did the Illini Walk, Band Concert, and follow on band.
Honestly I was a little choked up/goose bumps when the team walked by and then the band played. The band after 90's Daughter was really good.
I definitely will be hitting up Grange Grove more often, but sometimes it's hard to leave the tailgate set up over in the Research Lot!

Is there no edit mode?

After watching my recording of the UNC game and looking at some pictures on Facebook, I am SO excited to tailgate in Grange Grove for the Iowa game!

Is this something new? I've never heard of BTN Tailgate.
Oh, come on! It's been a staple for at least 50 years! heh! And I mean it!

Let's put on a show for them! The perception needs to become that Champaign is an awesome gameday experience; it was last weekend, and it can be again!

Hopefully they have a cool setup by the Grange Statue. There is also the Parmalee Concert going on in the Grove at 9am that day so should make for a good crowd!
Is that who that was?
I'm not generally into country music - at all - but that was a really talented band. The guitarist and drummer in particular were really excellent players.
