I attended the Pokemon Go Fest downtown Chicago at Grant Park and recorded this bit of the crowd, which got viral, on twitter moments, Kotaku etc.  People flew in out of state, got hotels, waited over 3 hours in lines and came into the park without the game ever working, I wasn’t able to catch a single pokemon, only one stop and 1 badge, so I can understand people getting super upset unlike me who thankfully is local and honestly went for a friend plus we all got refunded, I actually enjoyed my time meeting a lot of people who grew up with the game and I had brought my switch with, the layout was really neat with actual build poke stops and each team had its own tent, the shop however was bad, nothing was exclusive but a team shirt and they had over priced items.  If the game actually worked this would of been such a fun event but sadly it wasn’t the  case and no one wins in this situation, not the attendees and not the people hosting, super sad but we didn't get rained out thankfully, it was an experience to say the last
