      In the past the only requirement to get in was to wear an Animal shirt. I'm sure that will be the case again. Hope you make it.

      To get in, you gotta wear an animal shirt.

      However, if you were registered in the forum and signed up in the official ABC thread, there were some LE things for registered attendants.

      Actually, it may not. From wut I heard, last years event had 250+ people and they were packed like sardines in the gym. At a certain point, that aint good and no one can train. So either Corporate has to find a bigger gym thats farther away (cant walk) or they need to come up with a system so that there arent more than 200 people there...

      I guess that means Vinnie won't be doing a national ABC invite over the sound system in the cage this year haha. Every time the guys did that the last few years I'd think to myself "No stop telling people. It's crowded enough already" lol

      So stayin where its always held has pros and cons, just like limitin who can come. One on hand, Animal is about bein open and invitin to anyone and everyone. But at the same time, too many people aint good either.

      So true. I knew something would have to be done for this year. Last year was insane!

      No fun and can be a hazard too... So I believe Corporate is lookin at a new gym and/or lookin at ways to cap the # of people who can come to the big event.

      This is good news, every year seems to double in size from the last. Don't get me wrong, new faces are always a good but it seems to be more of a hangout for most. It'll be nice to be able to get a solid session in.

      Agreed.

      Besides what has been said, I think in the long run it's better to disappoint some people by their not being able to get in than to disappoint a lot of people by setting up an environment that isn't conducive to training and potentially dangerous.
