I am usually in the stadium about 1 hour before the game starts to avoid the traffic at the gates.
Yesterday I got to the gates 25 minutes prior to kickoff (could see the clock in the stadium) and the
lines were unbelievable.... They moved at a snails pace and people of course were not too happy
with the movement.
I got to the gate 5 minutes after kickoff, so I was in the line to get into the statium for at least 30
minutes.
There was also chaos for the people who had the clear bags.
There were no signs, so when they got to the gate, they were told they had to go to a different location
and those people were not too happy.
When I got to the gate there were two lines closed, because the hand held ticket scanners were
not working. Maybe they should invest in a couple spare scanners in the future.
I have been going to games for a long time and I should know better, but I want to pass this on to the
fan who maybe hasn't been to the statium for a while or the fan who is going for the 1st time.
If you are going to a game, go early..... get to the gates at least 1 hour prior to kickoff.
Tickets are too expensive to miss a portion of the game, because you are in line trying
to get into the stadium.
