Chicago Tailgating - July 22, 1934: John Dillinger Shot Dead

We feel like exploring a bit of history this week. And we found out that Eighty-One years ago today, John Dillinger, American bank robber, ‘Public Enemy No. 1′, was shot and killed outside a Chicago theater by FBI agents. What does this have to do with tailgating? Well we know what we will be drinking the next time we are in Chicago for any kind of sports event.
