original story:
The Rochester Orcas Summer Pools Facebook page posted a video a couple of days ago that showed a line of 500+ people waiting to get in and said over 2,500 people visited the Soldier s Field Pool last weekend. Free admission combined with record heat here in southeast Minnesota has led to high attendance at area pools but unfortunately, fewer people are being allowed into one Rochester pool.
The Orcas say the Soldier s Field pool have to now enforce a capacity limit of 300 but it doesn t sound like the limit has anything to do with high demand but rather how people were acting. On their Facebook page, they wrote: Due to public members actions Soldier s Field pool capacity will be moved to 300 swimmers.
