Anyone Else Disappointed by the Flyby?

I was more disappointed that the chick "singing" butchered the National Anthem.

This.

I heard her from the parking lot warming up and was mortified. Sadly enough, she actually did a better job during the real thing.

Hey fatty - nobody's here to listen to you 'stylize' the national anthem. Just get through it quickly so we can all yell "CHIEFS" and kick off. And try not to make Francis Scott Key roll in his grave if you can avoid it; I'm pretty sure he didn't have 5 different key changes in 'Free' when he wrote it.

That was as bad a performance as I think I've ever heard without someone forgetting a line or coughing up a hairball. She was just awful.

True.....on the topic (sort of) of being there early, any idea why they opened the gates at 8:00, rather than 8:30? I was sitting there as normal thinking we were doing the "move up 20 feet" thing we always seem to do about 8:00-8:15 or so and then realized they had opened the gates. I'm not complaining at all, it's just very odd for them to open early.

No - my group ends up getting in around 9, so I had no idea they had them open at 8.

Yep.

The best I've heard was the very talented young lady who sang live nationwide on ESPN for the NASCAR race in Daytona and also on WGN for the Cubs game a couple of months back.

And she's a local gal.
