The NFL will ban tailgating at this year's Super Bowl and prevent fans from walking to the event, which will take place on Feb. 2, 2013 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The event may get more complicated if it snows that weekend and the Super Bowl becomes the "Ice Bowl"........NoFunLeague

I could be wrong, but somehow I suspect those with the financial wherewithal buy multiple tickets with face values from $500 to $2,600 probably aren't your average "tailgaters" anyhow . . . .
I wonder how much of this is an overreaction to the evil perpetrated at the Boston Marathon?
On the other hand, if the league, the unions, the local bureaucrats, and the mob could "score" enough off of tailgating, it would probably still be legal. "Follow the money . . . ."Last edited by 38P; December 9, 2013, 07:21 PM. -
It's always about money. Always. The powers at be can't collect stupid high amounts of money on beer, food, and such that the fans bring themselves. They are already raking everyone over the coals for this one. So badly, I bet that there won't be another one there for some time.

I hope the Chiefs don't make it there now. Because telling a Chiefs fan he can't tailgate will probably start a riot.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver

The only Chiefs fans I've known actually "tailgated" all the time . . . at home . . . at work . . . Just sayin.
BTW, I was shocked the first time I went to a big NASCAR track and saw they allowed "six-pack" coolers in the grandstands (our local dirt track had a strict "no outside food/drink" rule, which I assumed was generally universal) . . . until I realized that the average Southern NASCAR fan simply can't watch a 3-4 hour race on only a sixer . . . .

think this is more about keeping those without tickets from tailgating at the parking.. and well, like said above you can't sell as many beers if they are half cocked before they walk in.. I'm thinking those that spend 2-6 grand to go to that game will still tailgate.. no matter what they say.. whats the rent a cop gonna do..Comment

hey... let's watch that. I'm not a NASCAR fan and a six won't get me through the 3-4 hour nap! Try twelve. That's pretty good nap fuel.Originally posted by The Outsider View PostThe only Chiefs fans I've known actually "tailgated" all the time . . . at home . . . at work . . . Just sayin.

This was being considered after last years event. they said the mess that tailgaters left in the parking lots was really, really bad...And with the rash of drunken mornons falling to their death or serious injury...then, there is the money thing...I am sure they are losing revenue inside the stadium...If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark DonohueComment

The Rose Bowl parking lot is amazingly destroyed by tailgaters long before the game is over. But, at $100 per car and $275 per bus, motorhome, and limo to park there more than covers a few unionized city workers to clean it up. You should see the Rose Parade route when the crowd leaves.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver
