Per WTOP:

After spending hours in the bitter cold, tens of thousands of people are starting to make their way through security checks ahead of the modified inaugural parade at Capital One Arena.

Reporting from downtown D.C., WTOP’s Luke Lukert said extremely long lines to enter the sports arena snaked back about five to seven blocks. He said some people eager to see President-elect Donald Trump began lining up at the venue at 11 p.m. on Sunday.

“The folks are very excited,” Lukert said. “You can definitely hear the energy, kind of pumped up as the line starts moving and they can finally get out of this bitter cold.”

Trump is not expected to arrive at the Capital One Arena until the afternoon.
