Huge lines forming at 4pm about 3 hours before Washington Square Park security gates were fully opened.
These lines are between the NYU Student Affairs & Library buildings. After the rally began, about 7pm, the park open space for the rally was nearly filled and there were wall to wall people in the streets waiting to get in and not able to enter the crowded park. Loudspeakers were placed throughout the area so people could hear the stage proceedings. I waited in line 2 1/2 hours in line before getting into the park, but left the park soon after, due to standing fatigue & the pressure of the crowd & security guards.
