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.

I'm guessing all the forced organization of the traffic and parking lots will start to kill the cool factor of tailgating. You just can't organize spontaneity

One year we all threw in and took a 6-person limo from L.A. to San Diego for the Chiefs/Chargers game. On the way down, we were all imagining how "ballah" it would be to pull up in a limo and tailgate with our Limo.
Truth is, it sucked: we had to pay double for "oversize Parking" and then here I am trying to grill brats on a propane lil-webber about knee high on the asphalt -- think the grill version of the "stonehenge" from Spinal Tap -- We had no place to sit, and our cooler was in the trunk of the limo since we had no extra room. It sucked. Though, after the game on the crawl out of the lot, my buddy and I stood out of the moonroof with a box of Krispy Kremes and offered them to the ladies walking by. Three cars back two girls were honking at us and so we went and got in their car and chatted them up. We ended up giving them Krispy Kreme and then followed them to an after party with Junior Seau. Later, on the way home I offered to call all my buddies' S.O.'s and convince each guy's lady to engage in the sexy times when they got home. Later recon showed there was a 66 percent conversion rate. These are some dudes who had been a married for a while so that's pretty good. EPILOGUE: About a year later I'm at the vending machine at work and a new girl there looks at me and says: "Hey, you're that Limo guy who gave us Krispy Kreme at the Chargers game!" |

Tailgating is always good. The term "jumped the shark" has always been bad.

Like everything else w/ the NFL. When money is more important than anything else, the product starts to become stale. The NFL in some markets has done a great job w/ having tailgating become an event. The NFL game day is now a day-long party that starts early in the morning before game time. Overtime, you've seen teams around the leauge restrict more and more space so that they can fit more cars into the parking lots and other assigned parking areas because more cars means more money. And then you see the yearly cost spikes in parking prices. At some point I guess you ask yourself if all the trouble and prepping for a tailgate is worth it?

Honestly, I've liked the recent parking lot changes. I can now come in Gate 5 without worrying about general admission parkers, and it takes me right to the grassy shaded area southeast of the stadium. Like old times. Best tailgate spot if you asked me...

I try to get my head shaved and goatee just right for tailgates. Even though my once beautiful wife is now fat and never ****s me, it's o.k. tailgating is just around the corner. No one gives me the respect I deserve. I play alabama all the time to build up my self-esteem that my life is worth living. I try to drink beer and play pool to keep the voice inside me's volume level to a whisper, but still sometimes it comes through loud and clear. "YOU ARE A ****ING LOSER WHO NEVER LEARNED NOW TO BE GOOD WITH GIRLS, YOU SETTLED FOR THE FIRST BI-POLAR SPERM DUMPSTER, NOW YOUR DREAMS ARE GONE, DRINK MORE BEER, LISTEN TO MORE COUNTRY MUSIC, It's OBAMA's FAULT, IT'S CAUSE THE JOBS HAVE GONE OVER SEAS, BOY THERE ARE SURE MORE HISPANICS HERE TAKEN OUR JOBS! Meanwhile the truth is clear...you were spending your youth trying to impress some chick and trying to get the car of your dreams running....meanwhile your sperm was going inside an egg smashing your dreams forever. You sold your dream car, your hair fell out, your soul hung itself and is just waving in the wind now...
But hey It's tail gate time...time with Jake and Mike and the Boys...here they are.. Oh wow Jake looks old as shit....but he is good ole boy! How's it going jake? Jake: Not too good I smoke too much and now I am going to die Oh that is too bad...don't go there don't get SAD on TAILGATING DAY.. "I AM SURE IT WILL TURN AROUND!" There's Mike...Good old Mike..this is going to be like the good old days where Mike is fun. MIKE WHAT IS GOING ON MY MAN Mike: The kids are sick...wait *checks phone* sorry I have to leave I guess my youngest is sick It's ok...don't feel said...this type of shit happens all the time...There is still the game right???? MAN THIS IS LIKE COLLEGE GLUG GLUG GLUG WHISKEY BEER YEAH TITTIES ZZ-TOP WOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOO GLUG GLUG It's gametime!!! *TOMAHAWK CHOP BABY CHIEEEEFS!!HOME OF THE CHIEFS WHOOOOOO*** wait where the **** is the flyover...whats with these crappy planes... what is with this black I mean Rap music...i MEAN cRAP music...right people????!! Oh well I remember when they played the Stones and Black Betty. That shit was Real music. I can't even understand these black peoples words *Editors note the song he is listening to is by EMI****ING EM A WHITE PERSON" Holthus: And the Chiefs lose 28-14...Smith added a Late TD to make the game look closer than what it is. Welp time to go home...those chiefs....I better text Mike "Hey mike better luck next weekend right" Go Chiefs MIKE Texts: Oh the chiefs lost? I have been at childrens mercy my kid is sick Yeah they lost but I thought the pass rush looked good. MIke Texts: Yep..always next week. Btw I can't go next weekend we are doing something as a family HAHA LOL You are so pussy whipped. *heads home* *Drinks beer all day and night watching football wife is not nagging anymore because she doesn't even love you enough to nag anymore....she doesn't have the balls to kill herself because that would make her a bad mother, instead she just keeps pumping in anti-depressants the way she used to dump cock into her mouth when she was cheating on you* Monday morning....what a good weekend of football! Why won't my debit card work...*calls the bank* You have no money left in fact you are overdrawn and will pay a fee. This is a mistake!!! *Checks balance* All the money and booze went towards the game that the chiefs played like shit Thats it that is the last time I go to a chiefs tailgate Thursday comes around *I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE CHIEFS THIS WEEKEND... WHO WANTS TO TAILGATE??""
