How many times have you gone to a Skins game and decided to "get there an hour early". You start driving and say "I can't believe this traffic!" You arrive at the stadium as soon as the game is starting (1 hour late), but your journey is not complete. You must find a parking spot.
There are no spaces available, and half of them are taken up by grills and big drunk dudes who don't like the fact that you are telling them to move. Footballs pelt your car, and after someone finally lets you into your spot, you come out after the game to find it covered in beer cans and spit, a good prelude to your 2 hour commute out of the lot.
If that is you, all I can say is...tough luck. That's what it is like going to a game. Next time get there early and shut up. What? I can't say that anymore? Why?
Well Daniel Snyder is apparently on the side of the "average fan", coming up with a new tailgating policy that will try to eliminate hanging out in an empty parking space. Late arriving fans will no longer be ridiculed for driving their POS car in circles looking for a non-existent space just to miss half the game.
Aside from the parking space issue is the fact that tailgating will be limited to the back rows of the parking lots. This means you will have to park your car and grab all your tailgating stuff, dragging it to the back row? The last row will be a fire hazard as there will be grills on every square inch.
While this plan may look good on paper to Dan Snyder (who has probably never even seen the parking lot) it is going to be hard to enforce and fans are not going to want to adapt. I'm sure there will be plenty more fallout after game 1.
