Welcome to the home of the best tailgate at the University of Minnesota! After over a decade of tailgating fun, disaster struck.
I started as a 1995 Ford Econoline 250, and found my forever family with True North in 2008. Once I officially became the Gopher Fan Van, I quickly fell in love with the University of Minnesota and the atmosphere on game day. On September 18, 2021, I was taken from my home in Dinkytown and abandoned in the suburbs. After being lost for 3 days, I was found and back home where I belonged. I received
some much-needed TLC and was back in action around Huntington Bank stadium. I returned to the tailgating scene and the fun picked up right where it left off. However, something more was missing. The season following my disappearance, I was reborn as the Fan Van 2.0! I was new and improved, and fully prepared for the upcoming season. I was now the ultimate tailgating machine. Throughout my time on campus, I grew to love and care about the Gopher community. I have a passion for giving back, which is why I support the True North Family Foundation and its mission of activating organizations and individuals to support education, community involvement, and character building. The only thing I love more than tailgating is philanthropy--and I try to combine them as often as I can! I hope to see you around the University of Minnesota!
