Thursday at the National

West entrance is not accessible to the convention hall. It has been repurposed in to permanent space for tenants as industrial or warehouse space.

Dean and BobbyCee-

You are welcome, it's my pleasure. Thursday was my only day, but I've got
friends attending Friday and Saturday. I will pass along anything noteworthy.
A couple points:

1) The bathroom line moved very fast, wasn't an issue for me. Can't
comment on concessions, that's a line I didn't budget for time

2) The IX Center is massive. I have to believe the crowd numbers were
simply overwhelming. It was my 5th Cleveland National at IX, never
seen it this way. The wait outside the venue was the one vexing moment
for me. The short version is that people were left to fend for themselves,
so proceeding into the venue and parking had a "Lord of the Flies" vibe.
It clearly needs improvement and I'm curious if it's better Friday.

Thanks for the update, they should have made some sort of plan for that. I was unprepared for that.
