My singular curiosity to this complaint is, “How would Bostonians react to impatience and egocentrism like this?”
I fully anticipate finding out during my trip in a week and a half, as I predict someone will become petty somewhere and I will be able to watch it. I’ll likely laugh my ass off watching Bostonians making their point back. It will send me to Salem with a cackle.
There are literally thousands around you. If you want catering, assistance, ease - pay up. That first class life exists and it comes at a price.
If you do not handle crowds well, and I completely empathize, stay home more often.

You must not sit in the south end zone
We sit in 212, and lately they’ve been closing gates 3-6 to be exit only traffic for the first quarter or so of the game. It creates a massive, massive backup as everyone has to go down to gate 7 or over to the field house to get to end zone seats. Then, once you’re in the bowl, you can’t move because everyone is trying to navigate their way across multiple sections.
Out at the concessions on the east side, they were ID’ing every single person entering in the grab and go lines. It was horribly inefficient. Obviously with large crowds for the first time in forever they’re trying, but my god was it inefficient, bordering on no actual thought put into it. That’s what I was referencing in my heat of the moment post.

They sold concessions right back in the 80s. Strap 50lb drink holders full of Coke and Coors on to 12 yr olds like myself and have them go up and down the stairs until the tray was empty. Repeat 25 times per kid.
Now the bathrooms....

I've been to 20+ D1 Stadiums and feel my sample size is reasonable to engage this discussion.
I think it's you, man.
WTAF does this even mean? I'm positive I've sat at every game I've attended at Folsom, and for the last two years, I've consistently sat in my assigned seats. I've noted no more difficulty getting to my seats there than any other 50k+ stadium.
Hawkers visited my section -- the cheapest in the stadium -- at least four times during the game Saturday. There's mobile beer vendors every 15' in the concourses, concession tents all over the SEZ, booths all over the east side and Balch is a collection of concessions. It's amazingly easy to spend more money after entering Folsom.
I think it's you, man.
I’m going to end up getting in a fight one of these days with students pushing thru completely packed concourses. I have no filter anymore and call this bs out immediately. Male, female, big, small - it doesn’t matter, it triggers me.
There's a balance to be found between "keep it moving" and "don't push, don't be a dick".
