About Brian DeCoster: Brian initially ran his small company, renting compact refrigerators out of his dorm room, when he attended the University of Iowa in 1981. However, Big Ten Rentals quickly grew into a full-time business, forcing him to move to a commercial location in 1986. It has since changed locations and is now in a larger “showroom” location on Boyrum Street. Big Ten Rentals also has two storage locations that house our extensive party equipment/tents supply in Cosgrove, IA, and Davenport, IA. The Gazette recently wrote an article about his booming bleacher rentals.

In 1991, Brian’s Magic Bus took its maiden voyage. Since then, it has been rated as the number 1 tailgate party (as rated by Sports Illustrated Apr. 28, 1997, issue). He has a long lineage of throwing top-ranked parties.

Brian isn’t all fun and games. He owns multiple companies with multiple locations in the state of Iowa.
