New Jersey bans tailgating at high school football championships
November 30, 2016 / Athletic Administration • Football
New Jersey’s athletic association has banned all tailgating at this year’s high school football state championships, an attempt to curb alcohol use in stadium parking lots.
Four stadiums will host this weekend’s championship games, and the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) has “strictly prohibited” tailgating at all of them, according to a statement issued Monday from the organization. On Tuesday, the NJSIAA was forced to clarify that pre/postgame eating is OK, but partying is not.
According to NJ.com, several schools sponsored tailgating parties for students at last year’s sectional finals. Some schools did the same for regular-season games.
The NJSIAA gave no indication of what penalties schools or anyone else could face if the ban is ignored.
