A few years back while we were back home visiting family my son and I drove to Toronto to catch an Argonauts game. It was free Austin Powers bobble-head night, but the Argos organization hadn't really thought about the logistics of how they were going to hand out these cheap little trinkets.
Near the entrance of the stadium they had a few young guys and girls bring out large cardboard boxes of the bobbleheads and open them up in the middle of the walkway. The crowd turned into a mob. I thought someone was going to get trampled [color=#80FF00](I experienced something similar when I saw the Grateful Dead at the War Memorial in the '70s and they only opened two doors to let the crowd in).
It was insane. However, my son ducked into the crowd and emerged with Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and Mini-Me, which promptly got thrown into the back of his closet and forgotten.
People do indeed go nuts for free stuff, even if it is junk.[/color]
that must have been a crazy crowd....i sawathe dead 3 nights in a row at MSG in 1990.....tons of people didn't have tickets....but you could get still get in the arena in the lower hall way....at some point someone would sneak down through an exit hall way and open an emergency door and a huge crowd of deadheads would get sucked into it.....people were falling running up the stairs but there were people picking them up as they fell....i wonder if the deadheads of the 70s were a litte more rougher...hmmm
