I had to get the train home so I missed the stage show after the player intros, but it looks like that was a good decision. The politicians and businessmen just don't get it. People don't like or care about them in this situation. If you want to rub elbows with athletes, take the back seat. Instead they got front row in something they weren't directly involved with. It honestly looks pathetic on the organization to allow such things but nobody stands up to the guys paying the bills. It would be really heroic of Drake to shame them for that. Anyway, I thought today lack of crowd control was great. It showed how crazy the city was for them and felt organic. I'm sure it was a longer day than necessary, but the barriers for crowd control seem so impersonal. This was cool and to accidentally, to some degree, textbook on how to do it.
