Re: Opening Ceremonies?

The logistics of moving that many people to the exits after the event was ridiculous as well. I personally was with my team at the 400 level (nosebleeds) and it was impossible to move as a team through the crowds. Escalators were blocked because they were so congested at lower levels and people were ignoring fences meant to funnel traffic into the concourses to be dispersed before rejoining the escalators to the next level. It seemed like everyone wanted to get down to the lowest possible level before going around to their intended exit, like 10,000 people heading to gate A.

If it were in the morning I would imagine some of this would have been relieved by some of the traffic dispersing to their respective fields, around the concourse or down to the pits via multiple paths.
