Purdue's Buffalance Spices Up The Tailgate Scene

Purdue's BuffalanceIntroducing the Buffalance, an extremely unique and well-finished tailgating machine created by, Jon Hodge, a Purdue alumni and owner of a couple local Buffalo Wild Wings (if you couldn’t tell). Jon came up with the idea for this vehicle about 10 years ago, and located the perfect machine after scouring the web. Jon decided to kill two birds with one stone, and came up with this mobile Buffalo Wild Wings/tailgate vehicle that serves as a promotional tool as well as a great tailgating machine.

Jon has equipped the Buffalance with an array of electronic goodies that include a

  • 40" LCD Flat Screen that swivels out the back
  • 35" LCD Flat Screen for inside viewers
  • A mobile DJ computer with 3000+ songs and flat screen monitor
  • Kenwood stereo system with several amps

Purdue Packs a Punch with Tailgate Short Bus

Purdue Tailgating Short BusHeaded for its sixth season of service, the Purdue Short Bus has become a tailgating legend in front of Ross-Ade Stadium. The bus was originally purchased in June of 2004, after its founding members discovered the perfect fit during an online search. After seeing some early action serving as a wedding party transporter for one of its members, the Tailgate Short Bus faced its first days of service during the 2004 Purdue Football Season.

During its transformation, the short bus was first professionally painted black before gold accents were added to the outside. The back two rows of seats were cleared, and green astro turf was installed to make room for all those tailgate goodies. The dash also recieved a fresh coat of paint as it was painted black to match the outside. Also, a cd player and speakers were added to created the perfect tailgating atmosphere!
