Eastern Market tailgating changes with new rules: What to know

Eastern Market tailgating is undergoing changes this year with new rules following a shooting last year. Tailgate sites now require at least two parking spaces to improve cleanup and emergency access, and attendance is being monitored with wristbands, with packages offering ten to twenty wristbands. As the season's first home game approaches, fans are reminded of Ford Field's bag policy, allowing small clear plastic bags, gallon-size Ziploc bags, and small clutches with specific size restrictions.
