I had a ticket and got there when the doors opened three hours before the start, but the line was so incredibly long ( I walked it) that I quickly realized there were far more people than the 12,000 the stadium could hold. I made the call and went home to watch it on C-Span.
Bummed I couldn’t get in, very happy about the level of support.
BTW, the counter-protest was pitiful, about 200-300 people. Happy to say the police had it under control.
