They should open up the gates more than an hour before show time. Do you know how long it’s gonna take security to do full body searches, purse searches & confiscation of drugs, guns and other gangsta weapons? We’re going to have to be standing in line for longer than an hour to get in while this is going on.
I imagine they will not let us wear bullet proof vests into the arena? What about grillz … are they gonna search our mouths too? Hopefully not, my gold tooth does not come out, it is permanent. Can we bring our own crunk juice in or will they have a stand set up to sell it? Maybe Lil’ John will be selling it after his set.
