Tailgating is for Terrorists

Tailgating is a tradition amongst football fans. Before any college or NFL game, you'll find fans in the parking lot grilling and drinking beer, getting ready to cheer on their teams.

Well, unless it's the Super Bowl.

The NFL will not be allowing any tailgating at Dolphins Stadium prior to Sunday's Super Bowl.

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 within a one mile radius on game day.

"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 Dolphins games in the regular season and playoffs, and a team official said there would be tailgating before the Super Bowl last week. What he forgot was that the NFL controls the Super Bowl, not the Miami Dolphins.

The NFL is not allowing it for security reasons.

Apparently, terrorists like to eat bratwursts and down a few Miller Lites before blowing things up.

Fans will be allowed to tail gate outside of the Stadium premises, but they'll be left with a mile walk to the stadium. Anybody caught tailgating could be subject to being arrested. The Miami-Dade police don't think it will come to that, though.

"[People] will be warned and asked to pick up their things and leave. 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."-Detective Nelda Fonticella

Personally, I think that the NFL could listen to our President when it comes to tailgating and, you know, "give it a chance."
