This. There just aren't words to describe the cluster. I was there 20 minutes early and didn't get to my seats until 15 into the game.

Everyone on here got an email about the clear bags and stepped up security measures. It was a red flag to me to make sure I got in the stadium early to avoid the cluster...

well sorry but that is just not a good reason for the lines. I told you so does not make people come back.

hire more people or just loosen it up. Lets face it - we are not a target.

Something is obviously going on because they mentioned they are even going to do vehicle searches. Change happens for a reason.

I didn't mean that it couldn't be better, I just assumed it would be bad ;).

Need to have two separate tiers of bag search versus wanding. You don't even need extra people, just a bunch of rope and poles to force people into a funnel.

It was not the security. At my entrance there were 3 security jackets with wands. The problem was there was only 1 person to scan all 3 lines that were being merged into one at the turnstiles. There was no semblance of a line so people were just coming in from the sides and merging into the masses trying to get through the one turnstile.

We got to Mockingbird Station on the train about an hour before the game EXPECTING
problems with the BIG crowds and new security procedures. After waiting 10 minutes to
actually see a shuttle bus, we decided to walk since we didn't and figured they were all stuck in
traffic. Hart, possibly on his way to becoming DOPEYII, must realize big crowds mean
different procedures or MORE shuttles.

1/2 mile + a little bit walk was no problem, with police directing traffic at the lights on
Central. :D Got to the SMU student section gate, and practically walked in about 35 minutes
before game time. Saw one young SMU lady get turned away for trying to bring a back pack in.

Oh boy :!: Oh boy :!: I get to rant a little now :!: If all you IDYUT / RASS ROLL
complaining posters above expected to just sail through at game time....... :!:

Well maybe you need to be basket ball fans, we been there done that :!:

I would be glad to wager that Mr. Hart corrects this problem.

I think it might only need to corrected to a lesser extent for next week against UNT.

That may be the problem. One size does NOT fit all :!:

hmm I've never missed a kickoff except one time I fell for ESPN's eastern time zone game start on an unusual timed TV game at something like 2:30-I wonder what I'm doing right?
