The San Francisco 49ers are standing behind a new tailgating policy that has enraged some longtime season ticket holders.
Over 2,500 people have signed a petition demanding to speak with the 49ers over rule changes for the Levi's Stadium parking lot before games. The new policy is called "directed parking," a system where parking lot attendants direct cars into the next available spot. The petition, started by Niner Empire's Joe Leonor, says this prevents parties from parking next to one another, causing problems for large tailgates, and is emblematic of the poor communication between the Niners and season ticket holders.
