Have you ever attended Inauguration Day in Washington, D.C.? (See details)

My friends and I are going to the Inauguration tomorrow, but we don’t have much information on it. Mainly, we want to know if there will be room to sit down on the ground or if it will be too crowded. We’re planning on being at the Mall by 5:30 or so in the morning, so we will be there pretty early on before the crowds get at their heaviest.

If you can help with this or give any more information, thanks! Even if you can’t, please share your Inauguration Day experiences!
