It's insane they are even considering open surface tailgating zones downtown. Oh yeah, makes perfect sense to have an entire square block of parking dedicated to grilling dogs' 10 days a year."All of the concept drawings of the now-approved Vikings stadium proposal include large swaths of dedicated tailgating lots near the stadium. ... Although tailgating has some positive features – it is a big community gathering in a public space, an event during which people actually use the public realm – tailgating’s destructive qualities outweigh its benefits."
