ABOUT TCBTAILGATE
Established 1990

Once again supporting a world class Texas treasure ~
FAIR PARK, TX
TCB TAILGATE was formed in 1990 and is an annual non-profit event that takes place in the Tower Building at Fair Park Dallas during one of the greatest rivalries in college football the Texas-OU Red River Showdown.
Our Founder, James P. Graham (affectionately known by many as "JIMBOB") created this great tradition benefiting Friends of Fair Park and Fair Park's preservation and restoration projects.
As an all-state running back and University of Texas Longhorn, he proudly wore the jersey #33.
He was an inspiration to us all for always "Taking Care of Business" - on and off the field.
Above all, we remember him for his giving nature without ever seeking credit.
He lived his life fully and honorably, and expected the same from all who knew him.
For over three decades, we've been "Taking Care of Business" on game day by giving back to
Fair Park's hard working non-profits and providing a path for funding special renovation and preservation projects to help restore Fair Park to its former glory.
Today this great tradition remains stronger than ever thanks to YOU our MVP's (Most Valuable Patrons)!
Join us in celebration as we honor #33 and all of our MVP's at this year's
36th Annual TCB Tailgate Party at the Tower Building!
