HISTORY

​

It all began in 1998 when three UT students captured their love of Longhorn football by celebrating with friends in an organized tailgate party. Three years later they cultivated this tailgate into Horn-Ball, the beginnings of the ultimate tailgate experience. For nine years, Horn-Ball's original three members combined their efforts with two other tailgating groups, the Texas Pig and Texas Ringers to create the Ultimate Tailgating Experience.  With the Texas Pig and Texas Ringers moving on, Horn-Ball expanded their territory and established itself as the premiere tailgate destination in Austin. The rest is history!
