Eagles fans can’t tailgate at the Super Bowl, and Arizona officials have no plans to grease poles

Traditional tailgating as Birds fans know it — BYO grills, meats, and booze — will be hard to set up during the Super Bowl in host city Glendale, Ariz.

Tailgating will not be allowed on NFL-controlled parking locations at State Farm Stadium, and only Super Bowl ticket-holders will be allowed to park in the designated lots — with a 4 a.m. deadline to leave.

Still, there will be plenty of celebrating elsewhere. Glendale, as well as neighboring Phoenix and Scottsdale, will be working to get football fans’ spending dollars in the week leading up to and on the day of the big game.

The most lauded event will take place right next to State Farm Stadium and be hosted by Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host Guy Fieri.

The slice of flavortown is being billed as “part food festival, part music festival” with Diplo and LOCASH scheduled to perform.

There will be more than 10 Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives restaurant pop-ups and a slew of area restaurants. The event is free but will be capped at 10,000 people, and Sonoma Magazine reports the event received more than 34, 000 requests in less than 24 hours. Some VIP all-inclusive tickets are still available for $400. The event ends at kickoff.

In Scottsdale, less than an hour drive from Glendale, there’s a five-day “tailgate” hosted by ESPN ahead of the big game. This event is essentially a festival where people can buy food and drinks.

Downtown Phoenix will host a similar festival Thursday through Saturday at Hance Park, with live performances and food available for purchase. On Sunday, the game will be played on “the largest LED screens in Arizona” as part of the Super Bowl Experience — no outside food or drink will be allowed.

For those who want to be close to State Farm Stadium but didn’t score Super Bowl tickets, various venues and bars will show the game in Glendale.

But Birds fans, be warned: The city is aware of Philadelphia’s pole-climbing tradition.

A Glendale spokesperson declined to say whether the city would be greasing their poles ahead of a possible Eagles win, but implied no shenanigans would be tolerated.

“The city of Glendale will have a heavy presence of safety and security personnel from multiple partnering jurisdictions that will deter and stop any unsafe activities.” wrote a spokesperson in an email.

Phoenix was more direct and has said it won’t be greasing its poles, adding that isn’t something it’s needed to do in the past.

“With public safety as the top priority, the Phoenix Police Department is prepared to monitor any situations that may arise,” read a statement from the city.
