I guess in my mind the gate should have been opened when the mass exodus began. Might seem like a small thing, but it’s just something that I think they should look at in the future should fans need to head out quickly and safely again.

Regardless, I’ll still be there every Friday night
That's the way they've always done it. Best bet is to get your hand stamped as you go in, but if you have to wait behind someone else to get stamped, you will still get wet.

Yes, they started 35 minutes late. I hope this is not setting a precedent.
