[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1225047, member: 590800"] My friend, it pains me to say that Iowa tailgating isn't Illinois tailgating (which, while fun, has been very, very low key when I've partaken in Champaign). I'm fairly certain I'm literally in this picture, which is just one tailgate in a backyard across the street from Kinnick Stadium: [img]http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1330948/images/o-UNIVERSITY-OF-IOWA-PARTY-facebook.jpg[/img] Believe me, the party can and SHOULD be brought outside. You can provide the exact same experience for U of I students except outside and not in a sticky bar and also improve Memorial's gameday atmosphere! The frats here treat their tailgating location/setup as a status symbol (much like I'm sure your block bar says something about your frat?); they buy tons of kegs/bottles, hire DJs, pair with sororities, etc. Illinois' tailgating atmosphere has a long way to go, but I believe in the potential for it to be rowdy. The thing is, Iowa students flock downtown right as the game is about to start, but the fact that the place to be before game time is by the stadium, it has to at least keep a few there and funnel a few extras into the stadium.
