Didn't see this anywhere else, and didn't think it fit in the playoffs thread.  So, I started the Official CF Super Bowl(TM) thread.

No Tailgaiting at the Super Bowl

Tailgating Forbidden For Super Bowl

(CBS4) MIAMI 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 on game day within one mile of the stadium.

"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 regular- and post-season games for Dolphins fans, a team official on Tuesday said it would indeed be allowed at the Super Bowl. According to Jaquez, however, the official has been seriously misinformed.

The Dolphins do not organize and oversee the Super Bowl, Jaquez pointed out. Instead, those duties are left up to NFL officials. And because of security reasons, no pre-game partying on (or very near) the premises will take place. Fans spotted tailgating could face charges, Jaquez said.

"This is part of the NFL, not the Dolphins," Jaquez said. "If the Dolphins are saying there's tailgating -- or think it's going to be allowed -- then they need to contact the NFL."

Detective Nelda Fonticella of the Miami-Dade Police department confirmed the Super Bowl rules.

The rules put in force by the NFL prohibit grilling or consuming alcohol within or on Dolphins Stadium grounds.

People "will be warned and asked to pick up their things and leave," Fonticella said. "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."

There is no law prohibiting tailgating outside of the stadium property.[/url]

NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED - unless they sell it to you.  :yay

I hate Superbowl week. It's sunny there, famous and rich people are hanging out getting free shtein and awsome parties, and I'm sitting in farging cold ass Philly going to class and working at a newspaper. Asses.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

No Fun League strikes again.  Next year there will be no cheering allowed.

It's been a very long time since the NFL made a dime on me, and I intend to keep it that way.

Tailgating wasn't permitted in Jacksonville either.  What's the big deal? 

People are going to be tailgating on South Beach anyway.  What's better?  Sitting by your car in some mosquito-infested parking lot or hanging out in open-air bars with supermodels in bikini's walking around?

I never saw any bikini clad super models when I was in South Beach... but that was during the day so they were probably all inside snorting coke at the time.

You were probably there just in time for the early bird specials.

LOL - you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a supermodel down there.  I'm not kidding either.  It's hot Hoyda-central.

From Bill Simmons' media day photo blog:


Quote"Jimmy Kimmel Live" decided to send the Famous Rejects Du' Jour from "American Idol" to cover media day for a segment on the show. That's one of the show's writers on the left, Will Burke. He spent the last few days with them ... now he's starting to look like Nicholson during the last 75 minutes of "The Shining." No, seriously.
