Redskins to Restrict Large Tailgate Parties

God you guys read stuff and bitch like a bunch of girls about stuff that's not even what was said in the article. It did not say you could not tailgate. It said if you want to have a big tailgate party you have to go to the back of the parking lot if you wil be TAKING UP MORE THAN ONE PARKING SPOT. So if you need one parking spot and can tailgait behind your car then your good to go. What gives people the right to block others with a pass from parking in a spot when someone feels the need to take up 2 to 3 spots. Its no big deal.

reading the new rule i thought all tailgating has to be done in the back rows of the lots. that begs the question what they consider tailgating. is drinking a 30 pack with 5 buddies around your car/truck tailgating? do you need to have a bbq grill fired up to be considered tailgating? do you need a grill, tent and other things that require additional space to be considered tailgating?

if the new rule restricts the large tent popping 5 space tailgating party to teh back rows then great. makes sense.

but i hope you are still allowed to do the small tailgate without taking up spaces in any area of the lots. i got a small lil gas grill and a smokey joe. i dont need to take up any extra parking spots. can i still fire up the joe and drink a beer? hell, now that i think about it i'll just walk over to the tailgating section and party!

im gonna wait unitl i see how this effects the pre-game which might not be as important to some of you here but means alot to others. just cause you dont tailgate doesnt mean you should be against people who do take it serious.

go skins!!

Goodbye Alcohol, Hello Marijuana.

Imagine a stadium full of stoned fans LOL

It would be tough to get a wave going, everyone would be too lazy to stand up. It might be a quiet crowd too, not too many rowdy stoners out there typically. Concessions sure would make a ton of loot though.

That would be one sorry wave for real. :laughing-

article states that it's for people wanting to take up multiple spots and you're more than welcome to use the space in front of your parking spot for a setup

hahahaha, as if we could get anymore apathetic at times

start seeing a bunch of guys saying "oh those dallas fans aren't that bad man.. plus they got some gooood bud"

I wonder if we'll ever have a true backlash against alcohol in this country. Part of me thinks that it's in the works and eventually people will realize they can lead more productive lives by limiting themselves to getting tanked once a weak rather then every other day but who knows.

Anyway it amazes me how central alcohol is to peoples lives. At least in a college town like the one I'm in. I swear all some people talk about is what they did when they were drunk and how they're going to get their next stash of booze. I mean don't get me wrong some of those stories are fun but it starts to get weird when you realize all of a persons stories stem from how wasted they were and how they divulge into the same subtopics such as fighting, throwing up, or blacking out. Eventually it gets to the point where you start thinking along the lines of "this guy is a douche."

I keep on hearing that people in Europe do a better job of handling booze but part of me thinks that it's not that much better then it is here. Either way sometimes you find that life is one big hockey rink.

We had the granddaddy of all anti-alcohol backlashes already: Prohibition. That didn't work out too well.

I like the hockey rink analogy.

Why not both? Drunk stoners might enact the greatest of all waves.

I was thinking of that when I typed that post and I agree that prohibition was a dumb idea. For a true alcohol backlash to work it would have to still be legal but less socially acceptable akin to the way cigarettes are looked at today. It's the type of thing where if you force people to do it they'll try and fight against it, however if they decide on their own then it'll be more effective then any law could be.

I'm glad though that the hockey rink analogy didn't go unnoticed which reminds me NHL draft on Friday. I would throw a bone to the NBA draft but that's pretty much over for the Wizards now.

Oh God, just what the world needs a group of happy, violent, lazy, horny people :D

You guys laugh but ironically thats how it would go down.

I'm a big fan of listening to old time radio shows from the 1940 and 50s (comedies, detective stories, etc). Anyhow, when you listen to those shows cigarette companies play a major part. Not just from a sponsor level, but sometimes in the story line itself.

Even as late as the 60's you had guys like Johnny Carson smoking on set, news anchors smoking while giving the news, even coaches and players smoking on the sidelines.

And I'm sure you've all seen this

Anyhow, it was not so long ago that cigarettes and ads for cigarettes were pretty prevalent and now...just saying right now it's hard to imagine any upcoming "backlash" against alcohol (or coffee, or fast food) but how many people really imagined just 50 years ago we'd feel that way about cigarettes

I've never been a big fan of tailgating at games, concerts, whatever. If I'm going to an event it's to see the event, not to get all tanked up before hand. So even if I did go to games this wouldn't bother me.


Agreed , first never been to e Redskin game at Fed Ex ...yes I've been to Redskin games but not at Fed Ex and yes I've been to Fed Ex.The problem is threw out the league.Giants at least have the race track or the Izode center to park at,plus you must remember if people taking up more then one spot ...well that's a spot that someone else might have.
At age 53 I can say I have never drank at a football game,I like my beer but I like to watch the game and.....well............why pay all that money and get three sheets to the wind?
