UGA football fans buzzing about no tailgating at Sofi Stadium
Even the governor of Georgia has expressed displeasure over SoFi Stadium's no-tailgating policy.
For Monday's College Football Playoff national championship game between Georgia and TCU, that part will be noticeably absent. According to the frequently asked questions section on the CFP website, tailgating will not be permitted in any of the SoFi Stadium parking lots. The lots will, however, open at 10 a.m. local time and close two hours after the game. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. eastern.
Reaction
It didn't take long for the college football landscape to react to the regulation. Chris Milton, father of Georgia tailback Kendall Milton, pointed out the website's language on Twitter.

He wasn't the only one, either. Several took to social media to voice their displeasure with the decision.
While California may not know this, in the South a tailgate with friends & family is the only way to prepare for a big game. When Georgia hosts the 2025 #NationalChampionship , we'll make sure fans are able to tailgate! Even if it's at the state Capitol!!https://t.co/IHw22tZE6U

SoFi will not allow any tailgating in their parking lots for the Natty.
