Reporting back on the carnival for those who haven't been to the fairgrounds or are out of state. Without getting into too many specifics, the carnival is on the left, coliseum on the right. As you can see, there is quite a distance between the two & plenty of wide open space all around the building. There are multiple layers of fences, gates, & barriers (not all visible), & very few access points into the coliseum, all guarded. The parking lot is secure & well lit. The street access to get around to the front of the coliseum is blocked & secured- no entry except if permitted by guards. Past that point, there is still a significant distance until you reach the building (& it is all monitored). Guards were zipping around in golf carts in the parking lot. Lastly, the Coliseum building itself is like a fortress.
All I can say is, if there is any plan for nefarious activity or disruption... good luck with that! Not going to be easy.
Lots of happy (& maskless) families out on the rides & playing games tonight.
