And yes, there were accomodations for "ADA" folks that kept me from having to spend hours on my bum legs. Wife and I were among the first into the stadium and got good seats about 2-300 feet from the podium. We had a good view when two gold Suburbans pulled to the edge of the track area and discharged a shirt-clad Bernie. It was at least 90 and almost breezeless thru his arrival. But almost as if it were planned, a bit of a draft started to offer some relief and even some high, thin clouds stole the sun's clout to a degree.
By the time Bernie arrived, the crowd was anxious and greeted him with a standing raucous ruckus! It was great. The aluminum bleachers literally thundered with the stomping and clapping of the enthusiastic crowd! We were SO GLAD we'd gotten to be a part of this event. We wore big hats and sunscreen, but we were definitely feelin' the BERN!
