I'd vehemently argue with that. That initially planned for 250,000, and it ended up being 3 times that. That's lots of fail just by itself. They had completely inadequate facilities for that many people, and absolutely no way to control the mob that resulted. They likely broke about 2,000 fire and public safety regulations yesterday. If something were to have happened, if a fire broke out, it would have been a very dangerous disaster. People were abandoning cars. They had an entire tent set up just for people who lost their children in the crowd. The only thing keeping that crowd in control, was the crowd itself. And that's a testament to how awesome Royals fans are, and not at all how well the city planned....
