No Tailgating at the U of P for Super Bowl XLII
Although the University of Phoenix Stadium is quickly gaining a reputation as being one of the top ten best stadiums to tailgate at, the word is there will be no tailgating there during Super Bowl XLII on February 3, 2008.
This is not necessarily surprising, as one Arizona Cardinal’s fan shared:“The NFL upset many fans by banning the traditional practice of tailgating at Super Bowl XLI. Originally, spokesmen for Dolphin Stadium announced that tailgating would be permitted as usual, however the NFL quickly contradicted this statement announcing an NFL owner imposed ban on all tailgating and non-ticketed fans were forbidden within a two-block-radius of the stadium.”
AZ Super Bowl.com says…
The Arizona Super Bowl XLII Host Committee confirmed there would be no tailgating. While there is currently no information on their site about what will be allowed, they said they will work to have the information up soon.
