The opening of the Patriots training camp looks like a Black Friday nightmare

The New England Patriots opened up their training camp to the fans on Thursday, and it looked like a nightmare for claustrophobic folks.

A couple things:

1. Bless those four people opening the gates for the fans, because having a crew-to-crowd ratio of 4:ONLY-GOD-KNOWS could have easily gone awry.

2. Props to the Pats fans who, despite running through the entrance like it’s Black Friday, did not (at least from what’s shown in the Vine) harm each other or the crew while making their way to camp.

3. SHOUT OUT TO THE SIGN GUY. YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO KEEP THAT SIGN UP WHILE YOU WERE RUNNING, BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY.

Thankfully, it looks like no one was harmed after that opening rush:

One more time, to “Yakety Sax!”
