Chiefs Has Tailgating Jumped The Shark?

I wonder if the NFL will somehow try to "Monetize" this eventually. You know, charge you extra for the right to tailgate in your parking spot?

That seems very likely.

They have been selling those huge white tents as "tailgating" for years.

Just wait until they charge a fee for tailgating per how big the tailgate is.

Then you would have the case for "jumping the shark"

Really, what the Chiefs *should* do is re-align one of the lots for maximum space and "outlet" road access from the complex to 70/435/Blue Ridge and charge a little less than what's normal and make these "express" lots were nobody is allowed to tailgate and is meant strictly for the fans that just want to go to the game and GTFO.

Think about dividing one of the bigger lots this way so there can still be a party-hardy tailgating side (say in lot...G? I forget, whichever one is directly behind the bigger Arrowvision Board) but also the express lot with the appropriate amount of "Gold" parking for both sections.

Here in Jax, Shad Khan has actually gone the other way. Folks can bring in all the food they want into the game. Just can't be liquid and has to be in clear plastic bag. We take our extra brats in.

Not very smart business. Assuming the Jaguars have the same attendance this year as they did last year (about 350 fans per game), that's over a thousand bucks that you're missing out on when people don't buy a stadium hot dog.

I agree. I'm still amazed Nascar allows their fans to bring in all the alcohol they want. Not only is there TONS of profit lost by doing that, but I would think liability issues might come into play as well. If I was CEO of Nascar that'd be the 1st thing I'd change.

A bunch of drunk racing fans is the last thing you need at a race. That leads to a safety issue off the track, as well as the obvious safety issue on the track (Tony Stewart).

Attending a race ****ing sucks. Your own cooler is the only saving grace

They are pretty much already doing this. Parking at Arrowhead ain't free.

Of course they will.

If they thought they could make a cent more, they'd have all the games on PPV already.

Hard to put anything past them these days regarding squeezing out an extra nickel. But if you pay to rent a little piece of concrete, it seems like it would be pretty difficult to restrict (within reason) what you can do in your little rented piece.

They way the keep messing with the parking (remember when red was a couple of lots--now it is most of the them + gold and platinum shoved in there) it wouldn't surprise me if they restricted grilling to a few lots, called it Tailgating lots, and jacked up the price another $5.
