Thread Name: BS: Tailgating
Subject: BS: Tailgating
Last Week my brother took me to Buffalo New York To see the Miami Dolphins Play the Buffalo Bills And we showed up 4 hours early!

WHAT A PARTY!

People (about 7000 of them) Were filling up parking lots and unloading all sorts of bar-b-qs to have the tailgate party! It was wild some brought oil barrels to burn wood in and everybody was drinking and most were drinking Canadian Beer! There were pavilian style tants there, and some people had trailors and I'm told had been camped out since Friday (for a sunday game).

90% of the folks were drinking, 40% were too drunk to walk straight!

For a ten block radius around the stadium it seemed fine to walk around in the streets with a bottle of beer in front of the police!

It Was a riot! But how is this possible? Don't you people in the states have drinking and driving laws? They serve beer in the stadium as well and I'd estimate that there was a fight every 3 Minutes between drunk fans!

They start drinking at 8AM Have big bonfires right beside thier cars have bar-b-q's going as well and then stumble into the arena to buy more beer then drive home!

This is why we will never get the NFL in Canada. All 30 000 people would be thrown into the whosgow for drinking in public and no one would get to the game!

Americans please tell me how you feel about this!

Britains please tell me if you do this at Football games!

Anyone else feel free to comment as well!
