New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell announced there will be no tailgating on city property for Sunday’s Saints season opener, and no fans in the Dome for all of September.
Cantrell said many long-running city traditions are now outlawed.
“Tailgating on city property will not be tolerated. This weekend no neutral grounds, no underpasses, or any other public spaces for tailgating,” said Cantrell.
While limited fan attendance is being allowed in other NFL stadiums, that won’t be the case for the Superdome at least through week three.
“We cannot allow 20,000 people in a crowd to gather at all. That would be dangerous, irresponsible, and definitely not aligned with the Phase Two guidelines in the City of New Orleans,” said Cantrell.
The Saints kick off at 3:25 PM Sunday against Tom Brady’s Bucs.
