Rich- In 1986 I was one of the many people stuck in the Texas sun for hours waiting to get inside. An ambulance was needed twice to take folks away that had passed out just waiting to get into the show.
I believe I am right in that it was the local Fire Marshall that was slowing admission to the show because of the numbers already inside. I don't think Wanda had any control over that issue. She appeared numb when I finally did make it inside. She may have just been fed with everything during that show. The later National in Arlington went much smoother.
I will add though that my wonderful wife of 31 years waited in line for three hours to get a Mantle autograph for me at that show. THEN waited a couple of hours in the car for me to finish shopping!
