@fox9mn: FOX 9 reporter Rob Olson provided an inside look at the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair, where long lines and traffic delays were a key issue for attendees. Patrons attending the Minnesota State Fair are experiencing long waits at park-and-ride locations on the first day of the event. According to reports from Falcon Heights, Minn., on Thursday, the delays have resulted in wait times of up to 90 minutes to board buses to the fairgrounds. The Park and Ride Transit Authority previously stated that it aimed for buses to run every 15 minutes. FOX 9 has reached out to state fair officials for comment on the reported delays.

I’m done going first day. Its tradition but just about a 2 hour wait at the park and ride is going to break that trend.
