WH out-town pool report #7 color inside Patriot games

Some more color inside the Patriot Games.

Myself and other reporters are sitting on the top row of one of several portable bleachers brought in for the event.

The 120 Patriots Games athletes arrived to pyrotechnics — flames coming up from the ground.

They competitor are wearing America-themed jerseys and a medal around their necks. They will be seated around President Trump, when he arrives.

I’ve attached two photos. One inside the venue and another of Pat McAfee waiting to greet Trump earlier in the rain.
