MIAMI — Venezuela rode the momentum of their historic win over the Dominican Republic to jump out to an early 7-1 lead over Puerto Rico in Miami Sunday night, stunning the heavily favored Puerto Rican team. It was a raucous environment at loanDepot park, with so many fans crowding the escalators to get to the concourse an hour before the game that the escalators had to be shut down. This is just a small sample of our experience walking to our seats in centerfield:
Y'all this crowd might be more fired up than yesterday I can barely breathe I'm so excited #PuertoRico #Venezuela #WorldBaseballClassic pic.
