Tailgating will be allowed before FIFA World Cup games at Gillette Stadium, after all.
The Boston World Cup host committee said Monday that FIFA reversed its initial stance that no tailgating would be allowed at any of the 104 matches during the tournament, to be played in the U.S., Mexico and Canada from June 11 to July 19.
Tailgating is an American sports tradition where fans gather socially pre-match, often sharing food and drink.
The committee said the shift conforms with local policies that allow tailgating “like any other event hosted, at the stadium as there are no venue restrictions or local public safety restrictions in place that would prohibit it.”
