I suspect you're right, although many of those spaces are for live media coverage rather than, say, newspaper reporters.
I was in the swimming venue today, but my position was such that I couldn't see the media positions. (No spoilers from me incidentally, but these were only heats). I'm at the fencing later, so we'll see how busy that is! Incidentally, you can't move for NBC folk. They and their guests have people with little signs to get them guided around the park. I believe they have nearly four times as many people here as the BBC! And yes, I am making the most of these home games :-) Adam On Jul 30, 2012 11:44 AM, "JW" <[email protected]> wrote: > > You'd be surprised how much space there is.
