When the Minnesota Vikings announced the plans for U.S. Bank Stadium, it was obvious that things would have to change. The bigger stadium on the site of the old Metrodome took up much of the room that fans and the team were using for other purposes.
Now, it sounds as though one of the traditions of attending professional football games in Minnesota might be in danger, as the city of Minneapolis is looking to tighten up the regulations on tailgating and pregame get-togethers in the area surrounding the billion dollar stadium.
Earlier this year, the team and surrounding neighborhood agreed to expand the area available to fans before games to allow more room for tailgating.
