I was there with a friend and his kids, oldest was 9. After getting through the outside mess of a line (40 some minues) there was another lineup to get into the stadium.
No lines!!! just a mass of people. We casually lined up as best we could. Shortly afterwards crowds came from the back and we were in the middle of a huge crowd pushing to get in. The security was letting only 1 or 2 people in at once (for what reason I don't know as tickets had already been checked).
We ended up screaming for help asking people not to push because the kids were getting squeezed and could not breath. His son started crying as he got separated, but by God's grace with help of another man, we managed to get the kids through by sending them from over the top of people and over the barrier.
I actually thought we were not going to make it. It reminded me of stories where people get crushed during crowd hysteria.
Trust, me the people who left were lucky.
