Flying to Illinois game with the wife. Is there a tailgate or bar group we could join?

This is our first game together and we are flying in from Arizona.  I’d like to try and join any tailgate groups that might be open to some new faces.  We’d love to bring beers or meats if that helps our chances!

Do you also sell extended warranties for cars? Are you a Nigerian prince? Flying in from Arizona to Champaign for you first Michigan game together does NOT sound legit.

I've traveled to a lot of intense games and I've actually had some fun going to "off the wall" games like this. Not all stressful and you can just enjoy the day...hopefully. Safe travels and have fun man!

I've been to all the B1G stadiums except Turgers and Ramyland ... 

Illinois was by far the worst place to have fun.  Walking around the campus two hours prior to kick... nobody was out doing anything. I didn't even see a populated tailgate area. It's nothing like Ann Arbor on a gameday.  Your wife will never forgive you

Friend of mine is a (former?) letterman at Illinois.  He invited me to the game because the University offered free tickets to graduate lettermen.  

Disappointed I can’t make it to see this rivalry up close.  

Cool story bro, I know
