    wtf??? Surely you're not suggesting that if one guy gets caught smuggling beer they will suddenly terminate the tailgates. This isn't the high school dance.

    No I'm not; it will take a lot more than one, but it just takes one to start the process of going downhill. I really hope people use common sense (does society even know what that is anymore ?) when it comes to the tail gating. It sounds like a great event and $4 a beer is very reasonable.

    What are you talking about? The rules state that contraband booze will be confiscated and the vehicle may be refused entry at the discretion of the officials. How does that start any "process of going downhill"?

    Because it's never just one. You don't think more people will try it and that it won't have a negative effect on tailgating ?

    Well if someone is successful at smuggling in booze and tells someone else it snowballs and then before we know it security is tearing everyone's car apart and slowing down everyone's entry.

    Seriously is $4 to much to pay for a beer in Toronto? The money is going to our team and probably doesn't even cover the costs of the Tailgate.

    We were impressed with how well the Tailgate was organized and run. To be honest it was more fun than the Preseason game.

    I think that they could improve it by having it start earlier, especially for weekend and holiday games. And my wife thinks that they should have an Ice Cream Truck on site.

    I've heard that from quite a few people now - earlier starts on the weekends. Makes sense as it gives more time to cook and just enjoy the experience.
