Tail gating banned at super bowl

Like the tittle says Tail gating at this years super bowl is banned, along with a whole host of other restrictions. Such as not being allowed to walk into the stadium unless you have travel to the stadium via an approved transportation route.

"Nobody's going to be dropped off by black car," Kelly said. "You can have a black car, a green car, a white car, a red car as long as you have parking, and the car needs to stay on the premises the entire time."

Fans who had considered parking farther from the stadium and getting there on foot will not be allowed to enter.

"You cannot walk to the Super Bowl," Kelly said. "You can get your hotel to drop you off at one of the New Jersey Transit locations or get the shuttle to take you to a Fan Express location, but you cannot walk."


Any one else think all these restrictions are crazy?

Seems really crazy. Also seems like they're just asking for people to drink and drive. Can you take a taxi?!

I think going to the Super Bowl is crazy. Don't get me wrong- I love watching football- both College and Pro. But, the cost of going to a 'regular season' game is INSANE.

I do not understand how people can pay the prices that the 49ers will be charging next year.

FYI- Did you know that WE Taxpayers subsidize the NFL? Yes, the NFL has a tax exempt status.

Warning: Do Not Engage
An organization that exists solely to monetize a sport is not allowing people to celebrate said sport for free in the parking lot? I am shocked and dismayed sir. Shocked and dismayed!

To answer your question

"And hiring a black car, taxi or limo won't be an option for VIPs who will spend thousands of dollars per ticket. No cars will be allowed near the stadium on game day without parking passes, and any car that drops off a passenger will have to wait at the stadium."

If I didn't know better I would say they don't want people to go to the super bowl.

It's not as though regular people can actually afford to go to the Superbowl anyway. Plus, it's gonna be 20 below freezing.

no terrorist will ever touch the Superbowl. that would make *everyone* mad, even the peaceniks and liberals. Same as hitting Hollywood.

Tangos be out there defending the Superbowl as to make sure nothing happens that will get blamed on them!

"You will be allowed to have food in your car and have drink in your car," Kelly said. "And provided you're in the boundaries of a single parking space, you'll be able to eat or drink right next to your car. However, you're not going to be able to take out a lounge chair, you're not going to be able to take out a grill, and you're not going to be able to take up more than one parking space. And it'll all be watched very carefully."

I wish they would have these rules at every Raider game. The parking lot is a disaster area. 9ers current lot is just as bad. Add in some belligerent fans that think they are gods chosen ones and can walk wherever they want whenever and its a nightmare to drive through.

Makes sense to me

Why do you hate America?

Raider Fans are the BEST tailgaters of all. I've been to many Raiders games and I have been blown away by the kindness and generosity of the TRUE fans who are there at 7:00AM with their King Sized grills. Those guys are insane and are some really great people. I'm not referring to the thugs who show up drunk at halftime to start fights.
