There are so many empty seats in the stadium, so much for not making the same mistakes as China.

If they can't fill the stadium for this, it is going to be a **** ghost town for less appealing matches.

I think there are actually less people at the USA v. France match.

It will be interesting to see the turn out for the Mens matches tomorrow, If they can't sell out Old Trafford then that is embarrassing.

I actually just went to London for the first time last April, and I absolutely loved it. So I am reallyyyy looking forward to this. I usually watch anyways, but TBH I don't really care who wins. I root for Canada (don't ask why, it's a long story, hahaha) because I don't really like much of the US athletes since I see them on commercials 2905272907543x during the Olympics and before it, so yeahhh...

Disappointing to hear NBC is delaying events by a half hour, but I'm even more disappointed that they aren't showing the Opening Ceremonies live.

Just finished, couldn't have been better. The Cauldron was spectacular.

It has been an interesting start, although I could see how it might appeal more to a British audience. Beijing was an unmatched spectacle (it might never be matched) while this is more of a walk through British history with a narrative. Maybe NBC could cut down on the commercials so a flow could develop.

I'm not impressed thus far. I wish I could fast forward and just watch the parade in and the lighting of the torch... Oh wait, it's probably on YouTube already because IT AIRED 5 HOURS AGO.

I'm actually really liking the opening ceremony! It's a lot different from the Beijing open, which I think is good. Trying to rival that would've been a bad, bad idea. I'm just a little miffed about it being delayed.

I am failing to see the point of this ceremony so far. They just played music from A Christmas Carol and have a giant, creepy baby in the middle of the field.

Frank Sweeney just made me chuckle "These opening ceremonies make the MOST amount of sense. Such clarity. #IfIWasHigh"

"Melting pot" is the nicest description I think I've ever heard of the refugee problem in England.

I can't believe I stayed in for this. I sat there waiting for something exciting to happen with the cauldron. Nothing. We've all been very spoiled by Beijing.
