there are still a bunch of Giants' fans. Kind of like a regular road game for Big Blue.
Teams have just run onto the field, and Giants got a pretty big ovation, but Dolphins got huge one.
There was some debate about just how many people would show up for the game - nearly 90,000 tickets were sold, but we heard many ticket brokers were left with a bunch of unsold duckets. Scalpers weren't having much luck before the game. We asked three guys selling tickets what they were asking for, and all said face value or less.
But it is nearly full just a few minutes before kickoff, so the NFL at least got a very good crowd.
Kind of a Super Bowl feel to the game. Led Zeppelin blaring through the loudspeakers (hey, a band I've actually heard of!), and the crowd is buzzing.
btw, Wembley Stadium is simply incredible. Huge, loud, great sightlines. A massive opening in a retractable roof, about two or three times the hole in the Cowboys' stadium.
