That just seems like something bad waiting to happen.

it was pretty much impossible to get through the humanity Sunday morning. Very difficult just to get across town. Huge event.

Ah, you're from the area.
I was thinking how long those people must've had to wait outside before the event. I'm assuming that park isn't really set up for 75,000.
On the other hand, it was probably like going to a big concert with everybody excited and in their tshirts and all.
