I went to Hansen Dam to see the fan zone setup. This sets a pretty horrible precedent. On an 86-degree day, this community lost access to this city park and its glorious public pool

"I'm here at Hanson Dam for the fan zone that goes through July 5th. There's a bunch of people here to watch the games today. It's really exciting. The only bummer is you've got this beautiful city park, public property, and the games are being screened right here at the most beautiful pool, the largest municipal pool in the United States. And we can't go in it."
