Peggy Floyd, her daughter Jenae Floyd, and her brother-in-law Tom Higgins have turned Griz game days into a 27-season celebration of hospitality.

Season ticket holders since 2000, the family hosts a tailgate at every home game for 60 to 80 friends and family — and welcomes opposing fans with a simple philosophy: "Fans are fans, let the boys settle it on the field."

The heart of it all is the Grizmobile, a rolling shrine to Montana football complete with turf floors painted like the field, walls covered in 27 years of memories, and a trophy case holding pieces of the goalposts from the national championship game. The menu rivals any restaurant in Missoula — poke bowls, chicken lo mein, smashed dumplings, elote, carne asada nachos — all thanks to Jenae, the in-house chef.

Beyond the tailgate, the family has raised funds for breast cancer research, supported the UM toy drive and "Can the Cats" and honored veterans with Quilts of Valor ceremonies at the Grizmobile.

Congrats to Peggy, Jenae and Tom, recipients of this week's Community Service Award. Their pride in Griz Nation travels with them wherever they go — from Chattanooga to Frisco — and always comes with a loud "Go Griz!"

This weekend we celebrate 40 years of Washington-Grizzly Stadium and the unforgettable moments that have made it one of the most beloved places in Griz Nation.

The generosity of the Washington family over four decades ago built not only a stadium, but a home for generations of proud Griz fans and lifelong friendships.

Take a peek back to how things looked during the first ever football game played in 1986!
