00:05 I'm feeling pumped and excited.

00:07 I've been here since Monday and I've been traveling around New Zealand, which is beautiful,

00:10 but now I'm excited the games are about to begin.

00:12 It is really neat to be here.

00:14 I'm actually here with a friend who is a big soccer fan, so I'm kind of new to this, and

00:20 the excitement of being here for an opening day is going to be a whole new experience

00:25 for me.

00:26 So, it's pretty exciting.

00:27 We're super duper excited.

00:31 [chatter]

00:33 Yeah, we feel very safe.

00:36 Yeah, we feel very safe, like normal.

00:38 I know that's only like truly one accident.

00:44 I feel pretty safe.

00:46 I do think New Zealand's doing a good job with security.

00:49 There hasn't been any issues other than this morning, which is tragic and unfortunate,

00:53 but I do believe they were able to contain it, keep the crowd away, keep the situation

00:57 under control, and find alternate routes for the people to get to the games.

01:01 [chatter]

01:04 Yeah, ultimately now, I mean, seeing kind of the heavier police presence, I feel a lot

01:10 safer now knowing that they're kind of watching out and they're around more so.

01:14 I know this morning it was very scary to be around in this area, but having them now contain

01:19 everything and kind of figure it out, I feel a lot more comfortable being here.
