Where does everybody plan on tailgating for the Grey Cup this year? In years past it was under the Cambie St. overpass so I was wondering what the plan was this year?

should be interesting to see how the VPD handles all this.. you guys find the Lions fanbase to be generally older? Older = less hooliganism

There's so much else going on-will people actually be tailgating?

yes, the lions fanbase that tailgates is usually an over 30's crowd so the VPD generally allow it plus everybody is going into the stadium at kick-off so we won't be in the streets all day.

All the regular tailgate crew that I know are hotel bound that weekend and won't have any tailgating supplies or infrastructure to even attempt a parking lot pre-game. Additionally it is likely the surface parking lots near the stadium would be reserved for festival related events.
Thus I would venture one would be hard pressed to find a well attended tailgate party on game day.
But there are plenty of events and watering holes open early on Sunday to wet your whistle or whatever else you need wet
