The Fly
Just went down to the sports arena at lunch to check out the GA line and ask security some questions.
I took some photos of the line and will try to post those when I can before I head down.
Here's an interesting thing. I asked security what was the lottery policy. This is what two security persons told me. They said that if your GA ticket makes a special beep when scanned, it denotes that you have been selected to go into the EGG/oval. You will be sent to a separate table to get a new wristband. You can bring one other person (with a GA ticket) with you. The selection is completely random from what they told me. A computer probably randomly selected the serial numbers from the tickets.
So, it's still a good idea to get there early if you don't get selected so that you can get a good spot outside the egg.
Also, I asked about digital cameras and I was told that they are allowed but not SLRs with telephoto zooms.
The rain has also stopped and the sun is back out.
