Stampede into AT&T

[rags747]

The Cowboys need to do something about this before someone gets killed. Seriously. Standing Room Only for cheap(er) is a great concept, but security needs to get a handle on it. Maybe a special entrance location with a single file line, first come first serve or some type of designation on the ticket. This can't go on.

Side Note: I thought it was a white out. I guess these folks didnt get the memo. Cowboys Nation...

Yeah did not see the comments and immediately thought the same thing. Jerry is hugely liable there and better get a handle on it because someone hurt or not will see easy $$ there.

If look closely at the fans stampeding they appear to be your typical black Friday participants.

I think that if you fell, got trampled, and somehow survived then the psychological impact of the story alone would win over so many people against "the irresponsible billionaire" that you would be set for life once it's all settled.

The idea of being at the mercy of a crowd of clueless, ecstatic, and often intoxicated strangers would slay in the news media.

I don’t care if it was free, I would never do that.

That’s because you are old with a creaky hip and a trick knee.

I showed up 30 minutes before game time and ended up with a rail spot because people showing up two hours in advance got tired and abandoned their spot.

Not sure if that's common or if I got lucky, only been once.

SNF Week 2 against NY this year.

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Haha... Did you notice that one guy that dropped his phone in the middle of all that and had to turn around and run back for it? Had to channel his inner Ezekial Elliott

 

[Section446]

Happens every single game.

Pretty close.

Actually my GBS and now arthritis in my ankles from that, no way I could run even to get out of the way.

 

[The Natural]

Mods how about opening up the pregame thread

Let's just hope it ain't a sea of green

Very few Seahawks fans here.
Unfortunately about 40 percent of the crowd not wearing white

 

[TexasBoys2288]

It's still not as bad as Thanksgiving at Walmart, heh.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

This is why I try and avoid experiences that are either free or inexpensive....I have no idea what this costs but it’s too cheap for me

Been there, done that.. Trying to get to the best place to "stand" for 4 hours...lol

The very 1st game ever was vs the Giants. After I got thru the gate the fire arshal stopped letting anyone in. It got so bad people knocked the gate down. I pinned my girl to a wall to protect her from stampeding idiots. It was nuts for a few minutes then all was calm.

 

[Red Dragon]

Yeah this is extreme danger. Think Hillsborough tragedy where 89 died.

 

[TexasBoys2288]

People are such lightweights these days.

 

[Alweezy]

I don't see the point - why stampede to your seat and risk people getting trampled? Dumb peeps...

And all that just so you can sit in your seat and wait for 2 more hours until game time.

They are not going to seats, that's the point.

 

[Don Corleone]

What happens when you have to go pee? Do those people in the front row have catheters?

I remember this like it was yesterday.


Rock & Roll Tragedy: Why 11 Died at the Who’s Cincinnati Concert

“We didn’t call it festival seating,” says a Riverfront Coliseum employee. “We called it animal seating, because when they came in, they came in like a herd of cattle”

Isn't that an every weekend thing at soccer games in Europe?
