Back by popular demand for a second season, UConn Nation will once again have the opportunity to showcase their tailgating skills and expertise in the second annual Ultimate Tailgate Challenge as part of the overall Ultimate Day of Tailgating game theme.
The Ultimate Tailgate Challenge will take place when UConn Football returns home on Saturday, October 5, hosting USF in a 7 p.m. kickoff at The Rent.
Tailgates will be judged on menu (20%), tasting (40%), presentation (20%), and overall UConn pride (20%). With the outstanding tailgate scene at all UConn Football home games, this challenge will help identify the best tailgate of 2019.
The Ultimate Tailgate Challenge Champion will be presented the UConn Tailgate Championship Belt during an in-game, on-field presentation. Additionally, the winning tailgate will receive a $200 gift card to P.C. Richard & Sons. Fans that register to enter will be emailed with more information during the week of the game.
