"Mass chaos - again - after the 'Mass Transit' Super Bowl"

"Visitors to the Garden State were mostly thrilled with their Super Bowl experience, unless it involved traveling to and from MetLife Stadium on NJTransit. Thousands of fans are were stranded at MetLife waiting for NJTransit to figure itself out. Here's what they're were saying on social media."

They should have left when it was 2-0. The game was over at that point.

Our government overlords and central planners who are busy Hillary Clintoning the big money don't have a clue how to design infrastructure to handle large crowds? But they will happily take our money and our votes?
Giddy up.

Since the plan is to shove all of us into urban areas (Agenda 21) and make us all live in 300 square foot boxes, I just can't wait to see the resulting chaos of millions of people jammed together, unable to move or breath.

Actually, I hope I'm dead before this happens.

And it wasn't even snowing.

And what Sixty said, the Super Bowl usually isn't because most years it's been a blowout.

I suppose its racism at work again.

I'm confused. This isn't a new stadium, is it? And both New York teams play there? Do they normally play to seriously under-capacity crowds or something like that? How can the mass-transit facilities be that easily jammed up?

Sixty Gritt, you do not understand the heart of a true fan and neither do I.

At 22-0 in the third quarter, (if that was the score, I don't know), still does not extinguish hope in the heart of a true fan. A true fan has seen it before. It could happen. A complete turnaround with the last point in the very last second of the very last possible moment in overtime. It's lodged in their brains the game can go into overtime, God deliver a storm, snow up the filed, throw the opposing team into confusion, insert spines of titanium and resolve of pure diamond and supercomputer coordination in teamwork. When it comes to their team, their whole physical, spiritual, psychological, mental selves are connected directly to their hearts. They are not like regular humans. They paid dearly to get there and they are not about to leave early. That would be detached logical regular-people-thinking not anything near the intensity of wholly involved sport fan-feeling.

It could have been the Port Authority reaching over the tunnels and the Bridge to say Hello Governor Christy, we are here... or something like that.
