A picture of me with a bunch of other fans and the statue made it onto a yahoo slideshow of fans around the league this week. I'm the one all the way to the right, living in the past.

Worked great for me in section 204. Very good fan experience upgrade. I was actually able to text friends in other parts of the stadium, which was impossible for me before on game days.
Why not walk another hundred feet to go to a gate that isn't slammed?
You're right, maybe they should just assign everybody a gate, that way they can predict traffic flow into the gates.
Took me less than 5 minutes to get in. Go to another gate or queue up earlier. They've installed walk through detectors at one of the gates with plans to add more, so they're working on it.
