BRISTOW, Va. —
There will be no more tailgating at Jiffy Lube Live.
Spokespeople for Jiffy Lube and its owner Live Nation didn’t return phones and emails late this week. But Prince William County policeconfirm that the Bristow concert venue is cracking down on partying in the parking lot. No pop-up tents, no portable grills and absolutely no alcohol.
There has always been a rule against drinking in the parking lot. But now the outdoor amphitheater is adopting a “no tolerance” policy when it comes to drinking and tailgating.
Fans buying tickets for shows this season were surprised to see “No Tailgating” stamped on their stubs. On its Facebook page, Jiffy Lube Live writes that safety, and abiding by Virginia’s law banning public alcohol consumption, prompted the change.
How is all this to be accomplished? Gates will open an hour and a half later. Police security will issue one warning to those tailgating or drinking and if the offenders do not comply, they will be served with a trespassing notice and removed from the property.
