Made me look up the history of "Tailgreat". Returned once in 2019
The return of TailGREAT, the popular 1980s tradition of competitive tailgating, will take place Saturday, Sept. 21 (2019) when the Illini take on Nebraska at Memorial Stadium. The Fighting Illini will host two exciting TailGREAT competitions to award the Best BBQ and Most Creative Tailgate. https://fightingillini.com/sports/2019/9/4/tailgreat.aspx  Previous Message That being said, the atmosphere has been pretty incredible, the likes we haven't consistently seen since the mid 1980s. Great weather has helped as well.
