I completely agree. I don't understand how they can get 70,000+ people into a game in a few short hours, but it's taking all darn day to get +/- 30,000 people in during a catastrophic hurricane.

Well if they were charging $50.00 ahead to get in and only staying for 2 hrs it would be a different story!

Well, people don't carry that much stuff into a game unlike today. So there's a lot less to check for boooze and guns. Also, I'd guess that at a game you have a lot more employees available to man every entrance while today it's just the cops and Guard (and I guess city workers). Gate workers at a game also have a lot of experience at getting people in quickly since they do it so often.

I haven't seen people going to a game carrying bedding, food, clothing and all kinds of stuff(according to the Chief of Police) to a game.  All these people and their stuff have to be checked individually, takes time.  If anything, they should have opened it up earlier just like the evacuation should have started earlier!
