The Jacksonville Jaguars had more fans show up to Monday night’s Pokemon Go safari than they usually host for a regular-season football game.
More than 10,000 people registered for the event, and judging by the pictures, most of them showed up. Check out the line to get into the stadium.

And when a Snorlax popped in the middle of the field, sh*t got real!
(Editor’s note: I don’t have a Snorlax and would’ve gone ham to catch him if I lived in the area.)

Still think Pokemon Go is just a fad? Think again. It’s a wonder all those fans didn’t crash the servers.
