Tailgating Forbidden For Super Bowl
CBS4.com ^ | Jan 26, 2007

(CBS4) MIAMI Die-hard football fans attending the Super Bowl game at Dolphin Stadium are getting a rude awakening after finding out that no tailgating of any type will be allowed on game day within one mile of the stadium.

"There is no tailgating allowed in the Dolphin Stadium parking lots," Sue Jaquez, a member of the Super Bowl XLI Host Committee, confirmed on Tuesday. "And there is no tailgating anywhere within a one-mile radius of the stadium." "And there are no RVs allowed."

Tailgating is permitted during regular- and post-season games for Dolphins fans, a team official on Tuesday said it would indeed be allowed at the Super Bowl. According to Jaquez, however, the official has been seriously misinformed.

The Dolphins do not organize and oversee the Super Bowl, Jaquez pointed out. Instead, those duties are left up to NFL officials. And because of security reasons, no pre-game partying on (or very near) the premises will take place. Fans spotted tailgating could face charges, Jaquez said.

"This is part of the NFL, not the Dolphins," Jaquez said. "If the Dolphins are saying there's tailgating -- or think it's going to be allowed -- then they need to contact the NFL."

Detective Nelda Fonticella of the Miami-Dade Police confirmed the Super Bowl rules.

If caught grilling or consuming alcohol within that one-mile radius of Dolphins Stadium, fans initially "will be warned and asked to pick up their things and leave," Fonticella said. "We're trying to make this a pleasant experience for everyone, and there will be plenty to do in the week leading up to the game."

I always thought that McMahon's chin look more neanderthal during the season than in the off-season. I guess I sort of assumed he was an, uh, early adopter of the steroid thing.

That's not the part of FL that has the retirees and lots of money...most cars look like they haven't had new tires or an inspection in about 10 yrs.

That doesn't make sense. McMahon was skinny.

Actually the NFL and the PA have just approved new stricter steroid rules, and most analysts consider Goodell's public "can we help this situation" public statement to the Bengals to be more of a threat than an offer of assistance.

Isn't there a Constitutional Right to tailgating? Calling the ACLU!

If I resided within the radius, I'd invite everyone over to my place and fire up the hog roaster - I can see thier property (which is ostensibly government funded), but to have the NFL dictate what happens on other property is BS

Looks like a heck of a business opportunity for those nearby residents. I imagine the typical driveway/yard could accommodate 3-5 tailgating vehicles each...for a nominal fee, heh heh heh...

A guy I know with season tickets was selected to be able to purchase to tickets at a face price of $600 each.

Nah, it ain't about the money, nah....

Use Google Maps to zoom in. It looks like private houses all around the stadium.

You're right, I captured that image on my Google Earth program knowing that. I'm going to blame it on the flu I currently have. ;)

What authority does the NFL have to prohibit activities outside of the venue property?

They have zero authority to enforce that. Also, they will have a hard time enforcing it on the stadium grounds.

You wouldn't have a copy of the pics before Ebay removed them, would you? For the enjoyment and curiosity of the late commers.
