Fans Aren't Allowed to Tailgate at Hard Rock Stadium Before Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl
Tailgating is a part every single NFL game. Fans get down near the stadium hours before the game begins to have some food, some drinks, and some atmosphere before the game begins.
However, fans will not be able to do any of that, at least in the traditional sense, before the Super Bowl in Miami, due to an NFL rule which outlaws such practices due to lack of space and for security purposes.

Go ahead — but don’t expect to use it at Hard Rock Stadium when the 49ers and Chiefs face off.
Tailgating won’t be allowed on game day. NFL policy. https://t.co/NbKPlAsGMm
The no tailgating law is a Super Bowl rule and isn't anything new. But while fans often assume they'll be setting up tents and starting up grills in the parking lot, that won't be the case.
Chiefs and49ers fans may not even be able to do a traditional tailgate if they traveled for the game. But it is the principle of the matter that comes off as a bit lame by the NFL.

There is still plenty for fans to do. It is also the Super Bowl, so everyone in attendance should get over the lack of traditional tailgating once the big game is set to begin.
