    Cheryl V. Jackson of the Chicago Sun Times reports there is now a spot in Soldier Field parking for teetotaling tailgaters with kids. About 100 parking spaces will be set aside this season for alcohol-free tailgating outside Chicago Bears games. The "Family Friendly" spots, in the parking lots south of the Adler Planetarium, are an experiment in response to fan comments, said Soldier Field General Manager Tim LeFevour. "We decided to try it for families who might want to enjoy a sandwich and setting up a grill and not have to deal with a lot of alcohol-related issues around them," he said. A 10-game parking pass costs the same as it will for most of the other booze-friendly tailgating spots this season: $460, plus a $15 administration fee. Those found with booze in the area could lose parking privileges and might have to give up their game tickets

    Great now Tark doesn't have to seek these people out to ridicule them. They will be in the same spot all season.

    Happy Hunting Tark.

    the article says it is a more family-friendly for people with kids.

    I guess i can understand that. i wouldn't want my kids around some of that stuff but, then again, i wouldn't take them tailgating for just that reason..................... i've gone to nfl games at arrowhead with guys and gone tailgating but whenever i have taken one of my kids, i didn't even consider tailgating.

    The only time when you really see kids at NFL games are preseason games.

    Can't stand posers, Mush. If you haven't been driven to full blown alcoholism by this franchise, you're not a real Bear fan.
