The mood while players were setting up in their new seats was beyond festive. Railbirds are crammed into the feature table set tighter than a Tokyo subway. They're in the feature table seating area, the standing room around the feature table, and the box above the feature table area. There are also small clumps outside the feature table area -- at the two entrances, and by the secondary feature table area where some railbirds are watching the action on a flat-panel television.
The media are in on the action too. Media row at the feature table area has seats for five or six people, with two small rows of chairs behind that. All the seats in all three rows are taken, with other members of the media standing or sitting wherever they can find space.
When cards got back in the air, the crowd descended into respectful and hushed murmurs.
