Tailgating banned at Super Bowl, but not at Soldier Field


Last week the NFL put the word out about tailgating for Super Bowl XLI outside Dolphin Stadium in Miami--it's not allowed. Security concerns are the official reason, but I have my doubts.

Will traffic be banned on busy Interstate 95 during the game? Dolphin Stadium is adjacent to the artery road of the eastern seaboard.

My guess is the NFL and the Miami Dolphins want to sell a lot of $5 beers.

However in Chicago, tailgating will be allowed outside Soldier Field, home stadium for the Chicago Bears, beginning at 1:00PM Sunday, and they can stay until the game is over. All for just $15. But you can barbecue, bring your own beers, and TVs--but you're on your own finding electrical power.

No word if those Hoosiers in Indianapolis will be doing something similar. But the Colts play indoors, so the atmosphere there won't be the same.
