Tailgating Forbidden at Super Bowl

[Mr. Scot]

Ugh.

Pete Rozelle always sought to make the game MORE accessible and fan friendly.

No such consideration these days.

How long before they make it Pay Per View?

I was at the SB on Houston (2003-04). There was no tailgating in the stadium parking lot then. I don't think this is anything new.

[Awesomeness!!]

Hopefulyl when I'm dead and gone because that would be the death of the NFL.

I've been to two SBs and I have never seen tailgating. There are plenty of parties to go to instead. Besides....you wouldn't want to be outside. I was at the SB in Detroit and it was miserable outside.

Were you at least allowed to walk to the stadium if you so chose, as is your right as an American citizen?

The terrorists have won

I didn't think tailgating was a thing at the Superbowl for a while.

[Jangler]

This is the sad truth.  Even if you did go all out and buy a couple of tickets you would most likely be eating Taco Bell at your tailgate.

 

next they'll tell you can't take a taco bell dump in the parking lot.

Pay Per View is coming Mr. Scot, the networks don't make any money on the NFL broadcasts. They aim for a small loss and justify it because they get to spam us with their new fall lineup. I think I know everything there is to know about Almost Human and The headless horsemen.

 

I realize this ruling is un-American at its core. But in practice it will make very little difference. Do you have any idea what tickets to a New Jersey Super Bowl will go for? The common man you so vehemently defend will not be present at this event. Think about this, Denver and Seattle go to the Super Bowl....each team is allotted a few thousand tickets which they rape the season ticket holders with. Those fans fly across the country and use public transportation. The REAL fans will not being driving to the stadium. The majority of tickets go to sweepstakes and corporate partnerships. The crowd is generally neutral and sober. You don't get thrown out of the Super Bowl when the tickets were given to you by an important client. The number of people interested in tailgating at the stadium is very small.

 

The Superbowl is about house parties. When the NFL tries to prohibit our get togethers then it's time to revolt.

great post Kendrick....and if the stars align and the Seahawks are there....I will travel to  Seattle and watch the game with Seahawk fans. 

[KendrickPanther]

embarrassing really! 

 

 

guess the good thing is that the league has priced these tickets beyond the reach of most average football fans and the corporate fugs wouldn't know a tailgate if it slammed them in the face, so no big loss to anyone.  No tailgate means more limo parking.

 

Remember the dreaded Stripper shortage of 11'? All those retired strippers had to come out of retirement for the good of America.

[KendrickPanther]

Yeah no one with half a brain is going into the football league business. All these changes the NFL has made are in an effort to preserve the game. They have tapped out the US market so they are constantly looking for new revenue streams to match growing player wages. Eventually society will sour to the violence and life long injuries. Kids won't play rec ball and other sports will kill football off. Every decision Goodell makes is to preserve the game.

Now THIS is Un-American. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10108429/oregon-ducks-football-players-face-discipline-organizing-participating-snowball-fight

 

 

Oregon has suspended starting tight end Pharaoh Brown for the Valero Alamo Bowl for his role in a snowball fight, the Oregon Emerald reported.

Well there goes my plans.
