What an incredible season of Friday Night Lights. As the regular season wraps up, we’re left with unforgettable memories of community, pride, and pure Southside spirit at the Team Stiles tailgate.

For the past four years, the Team Stiles tailgate has had one core mission: bringing our community together before the big game. This year, we took it to another level. Every home game was packed with energy, smiles, and that unbeatable sense of pride that defines our Southside.

The moment we rolled out the trailer, the party came alive. We created a vibrant hub with great music, mouthwatering food from local favorites, and plenty of fun for all ages. It became the place for fans to fuel up and connect.

None of this would be possible without our rockstar sponsors. We kicked things off with Texas Roadhouse, then rolled into the following weeks with Whit’s, The Haven at Hickory Stick, and Ale House. Our friends at the Brent-Bleier Team and Bailey & Wood Mortgage brought sweet treats, while JC Wogomon with Catalyst Insurance Group provided the killer soundtrack.

The season was full of highlights, including special shout-outs to Colts legends Jeff Saturday and Ken Dilger, who stopped by to join the fun. We also had amazing free giveaways, including signed Colts and Notre Dame memorabilia, as well as four tickets to a Colts game.

But the real prize was seeing our community come together: families, students, and fans from both teams celebrating as one. That connection is what makes the South Side so special.

We’re not stopping here! We’re expanding the Team Stiles tailgate beyond Center Grove, bringing that same energy to more schools and local events across the Indy metro area, just like we did with the Greenwood Fire Department’s Kids Firefighter Challenge.

If you’d like us to bring this type of event and energy to your function, please don’t hesitate to reach out. From all of us at Team Stiles, thank you for making this season unforgettable. Your energy, support, and community spirit are what make it all worthwhile.
