Traffic was jammed and pedestrians poured out of Paul Brown Stadium for about 90 minutes after the final night of the Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Billy Graham Mission on Sunday.

        Police say there were no major problems associated with the record 65,500 crowd that filled the stands and a large portion of the field to hear the Rev. Mr. Graham conduct one of his last career missions.

        They attribute the absence of alcohol as a big relief to the normal problems — such as road rage and fights — they face after sold-out football and baseball games.

        “There's a little traffic congestion, but all things considered, we're good,” Cincinnati police Sgt. David Johnston said.

        People started trickling out of the stadium as the Rev. Mr. Graham asked those who wanted to follow the life and teachings of Jesus Christ to come forward. As the crowd filed down the escalators from the top decks, half headed for the stage and half headed to the parking lots.

        Tinu George, 27, of Fairfield, who left during the calling, said jokingly that his boss needed him back to work more than the Rev. Mr. Graham needed him at the stadium.

        “This is awesome, this is cool,” Mr. George said.

        A Medic One ambulance trying to pick up a person suffering from heat-related problems had trouble moving against the pedestrians. Traffic on Pete Rose Way, Third Street and Elm Street was slow moving, which is typical after games.
