Was Miami as big of a clusterfrick to get in the stadium as it was in the dome?

I was there last year and back in 08 and last year was turrible. U figure a place that handles Super Bowls would handle a bcs nc better.

Interesting. We were stacked up like sheep and had to wait about 45 minutes before we got in. We got there a few hours before kickoff.

It is the leadership in New Orleans that is a clusterfrick not the facilities. Too many tribal warriors for it to operate smoothly.

Neither could be as bad as the Rose Bowl.

I was just about to say, the Rose Bowl takes the prize as the biggest clusterfrick hands down

Dallas was the same way only HOTTER. NFL stadiums suck at security, but they pretend well.

Getting into that game was the worst ive ever seen. There was about 5000 people trying to get through a 2 lane gate in 99 degree heat. Swamp arse everywhere

It was pretty chaotic last year.. seems like for every fan they let in 3 more would get in line.

Was worth it when we finally got in though.. UNTIL the game started

This. I've never seen a major stadium with so few entry points. Once your inside, it's state of the art (except for the limited beer choices). But getting in was hell.

Getting in the superdome last year was bad, but not as bad as jerryworld for the Michigan game. Both were the two worst experiences getting in a stadium in 25 years of going to games.

The most difficult stadium I have ever tried to get in, other than the Rose Bowl, was oddly enough Tiger Stadium.

This. i went to the LSU/Oregon game in 2011 and it took forever to get in that place. And it was hot as hades. I thought it would be easy to move people thru there with those huge glass doors but the security check was before that.

Hell no. At Miami we walked right in.

I waited almost and hour and 15 minutes to get into the Superdome. It was pretty hairy there for a little while because of the pushing and shoving. Especially, with a preggo wife that you are trying to protect.

No, my wife and I took the Hotel Limo to and From the Dome. Hilton provides service every 1/2 hour to and from the stadium.

The dome was extremely cluttered walking in. SO had a pin get ripped off her purse amidst all the clusterfrick.

Miami wasnt bad at all

Miami was awesome. I didn't have to wait long for anything. Getting in the stadium wasn't bad at all and at halftime I went to take a leak, got a couple of beers, and still made it back with about 10 minutes left before the half was over.
