In Vancouver the police and PNE banned tailgating at the first Lions game at their temporary stadium. Officially drinking in public is forbidden in B.C. but police normally turn a blind eye as long as things didn't get too out of hand. The Lions fans and PNE made a compromise, tailgating was allowed if the liquor is not visible (i.e. beers in a coloured glass not a bottle or can) and no hibachi's, only gas-fired bar-b-ques.

Hopefully they will be able to make some compromise at CNE, like no open-liquor or hibachi's (with coals) and allow tailgating for Argo games.
