In 1971 Paul Pohle started a tailgate in the Twin Cities that started with a few of his friends and has since blossomed into our biggest event. Past appearances by the UW Marching Band, Spirit Squad, and Barry Alvarez himself have made this a very special event in the Twin Cities.

To relive the 2005 Pohle Blast watch the video here.
