My favorite Grand Valley memory is when my parents would come visit to tailgate and attend the football games. My siblings and I all moved about two hours away from our hometown to attend Grand Valley, so it was always really special.

I remember tailgating at a Grand Valley playoff game in December while it was snowing. It was a great time and felt special having a home game so late in the season. The best part of Grand Valley was the people.
