The stage and all the exibits were inside the fence, with only one 8ft wide walkway for the thousands of people coming and going, and everybody had to go through Table Rock. And many, many people lining the road in front of Table Rock were out of luck when the torch went on the Falls side of TR and then cut across through a temporary opening in the 'fence', that was quickly closed so no one else could get in or out. The entertainment, exibits and freebies were great, but the decision to have this large event at a location with only one way in and out was a terrible mistake. I can now sympathise with the tourists parking in that lot and realizing that they are trapped! This fence turned the Olympic Flame celebration into a nightmare.
