Hahaha. It’s so bad how much negativity there is, and I’m just as guilty.
I’ve seen these types of games before. Go up early, but not enough for comfort. We so very rarely just stomp a team. And here we are, not confident at all up 2 TDs.
And that’s just the main court in Arthur Ashe stadium. There were matches in at least 3-4 courts outside at the same time (smaller seating capacity of course). And there’s an area in the center of the whole thing that has tons of bars, stores, restaurants, etc.
I think his point was that the crowd getting in when I went to the Open would have been significantly smaller than a Bills game. I don’t think it was.
Well, this year there was a total of 631,000 fans who attended. It’s over 13 days so over 48,000 on an average but I went on a weekend day watching a popular player (Medvedev) so I’d estimate over 60,000 for sure.
I went to the US Open (tennis) last weekend with my wife. They required proof of vaccine to enter. I thought that might make the lines and security take forever but it didn’t add any time at all and there were hundreds of people in line at each gate, similar to Bills game. The “check” is a quick glance at your card (or for most people a picture of your card on your phone).
I just bring this up for those folks worried about the added time to get in the stadium.
McKenzie. He’s back in after what looked like a potentially bad shoulder injury. Mind you, it’s the first time I’ve seen a player injure themselves on a fair catch, but I digress.
