Been to quite a few this year and some aren't very crowded but some are astronomically more crowded than they have been in the past. Weird thing too is that they certainly aren't the same old regulars either. After graphing for a while, you get to know most of the people who come out. But lately I am seeing more and more new faces. And the lines have gotten longer. I went for Andre Johnson and Arian Foster the other day and, granted they are very popular players, the line was forming 15 hours before start time. That is just nuts. Last year I went to get Andre Johnson and the line started forming 13 hours before hand but the biggest difference was...I didn't show up until around 1 or so in the morning and I was only maybe 15 people back. This year I got there around 7 at night the night before and there were already 15 people ahead of me.
I know the Texans are 2-0 and I know they are a really popular team and the two players mentioned are very hot but I was just curious since I have noticed an uptick at signings most people don't even attend. Whats even crazier is that getting info ahead of time via the internet is not business as usual anymore. For some reason player appearances are getting tighter lipped and now I find out about stuff the day before or the day of. And there are quite a few I never find out about at all. So how so many new people are finding out and now coming even earlier than the regulars do seems pretty odd.
