Tailgating tip ...

Posted By on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 11:33 AM

The last stop before the stadium coming from Center City (where beers are reasonably priced) is an interesting little cafe Uptown.

I didn't even know the place existed until I walked by it and was offered a beer "to go."

As in, buy a beer from their patio beer tub and keep walking down the street with it. Last I checked, that was illegal. But everywhere I looked, everyone was already just walking around, beer in hand — passing cops in crosswalks on their way to the stadium.

I felt like I had died and gone to New Orleans. So do we abide by a different game book of laws on game day and the container one gets benched?

So I called and asked ... no, the law does not get lifted on game days, the cops are just busy. So, they can bust you ... but not if you're in a private parking lot, they informed me. Either way, if you pour your beer into a styrofoam cup the foam it makes it appear like hot chocolate ... I mean, that's what I heard.
