Florida Tailgater Leaves Grill On During Game, Torches 8 Cars
As the pictures show, it got a little crazy in the parking lot of the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami over the weekend. What a great weekend it was! We got to see our beloved Bucs whoop up on the Cowboys! That’s about all we could do, though. With the relentless rain, the football game was a welcome diversion. Similar scenes played out across the state and the country. But one party got a little out of hand.
It seems that one tailgater who was at the Hard Rock Stadium to watch the Dolphins play forgot to turn off his gas grill after some pregame partying. While the Dolphins got the win against the New England Patriots, several cars in the parking lot got barbequed to a crisp. Firefighters responded to a call about a car on fire in the parking lot of the stadium shortly after kickoff. Once they arrived, they saw 8 cars involved in the fire. After extinguishing the vehicles, they were able to determine that a grill had bene left on when the owner left the scene to go inside for the game. Some of the cars were totally destroyed, while others were only cosmetically damaged. As seen in the picture, the fire was quite large before firefighters arrived. Spectators reported seeing a plume of smoke rising from the parking lot of Hard Rock Stadium as the cars burned. No injuries were reported. Source: DailySnark.com

The Shark LOVES to tailgate, but we won’t light the parking lot.
