My girlfriend is in grad school at Purdue and we are going with her family to a Purdue game for her Birthday. Nov 19th against Northwestern. 
 

Do any of you have any tailgate suggestions in West Lafayette? I’ve traveled all around the Big Ten but I’ve never been to a game at Purdue. 
 

Is it best just to park near the stadium and tailgate at our spot or are there any bars and restaurants worth seeking out before the game?

Thanks a ton! Go Bucks!
