On June 18th the Calgary Sun continued their eighth grade media coverage by kicking up fuss over new tail-gaiting rules at McMahon Stadium. The article was essentially complaining the the Stamps were going to crack down on the 'fun' for the sake of a few drunks. I've been to all pro-games in Calgary and can say with safety that the Stampeder experience is the most raw. Cheaper tickets and pro games = more drunk fans cursing and cussing by your kids. The Stamps want to curtail this behaviour and I say high five.

New Tail-Gate Rules

Basically the cleanup is worthwhile, get bogus fans who sit in the parking lot and drink beer while listening to the game on the radio out. But will the tail-gate experience suffer from new rules?

Here is the official release from the Stamps. Essentially what changes is you can't tail-gate after one hour into the game. But who cares, you're in the game already right?
