If they were expecting this many guest I'm not sure why they didn't just move the expo to a larger building or even a large outdoor stadium even.

Oh yeah, there are going to be so many people sick.

But even that aside... how is that legal? That's an extreme fire hazard. If anything went wrong, people would die.

They've gone way beyond capacity. I believe it's technically only legal because they have like police presence to control the scene if it ever goes awry

I've been in that sea of people before tbh, which was like 2018 or so b4 pandemic (lmao still got sick after going there). The pictures showed the utter worst of it, but it mostly happens at the beginning and in a fairly big area. The smell is surprisingly not that bad because people hadn't had the time to sweat yet, and the area is intensely air conditioned

Honestly the worst is the line. Imagine what kind of line would be required to actually have a room full of people like that

They really don't have any options for a bigger indoor area. They are already in the biggest convention center in California. The only bigger indoor areas are located in Las Vegas, the East Coast, and The Midwest.

Didnt everyone in attendance pay for tickets? This is a safety concern and authorities want to avoid a possible tragedy.
I meant to say I hope they dont just kick those who didnt get in out.

I went yesterday. Yes it was crowded, but those vids/pics are most likely from initial opening. Had no problem moving around, and artist alley will always be the worst of it.

As for the fire marshall closing entrances...I don't really know what was up with that. Again, must've happened really early in the day (opened at 10, I got there around noon) so maybe I missed it but yeah.

And yes. Quite a few zesty smelling individuals lol

I haven't been to Anime Expo since 2016, but I used to know all the back/side entrances to avoid the lines to get in. There are doors to get in from the parking structure, as well as side doors to get in closer to LA Live. The lines at the two main entrances were always way too long.

I have a friend who went this year to see the Like A Dragon panel they're having tonight. I'm just gonna watch it from home.

I hope she's okay; she's really not good with large crowds.

I used to use the back entrance too. Very effective until every other fucking person realized the same thing, and the back entrances are just as long as the front lines
