Has anyone been to Chichen Itza during the Spring Soltice March 20/21?

If you have been there during the spring soltice, what time do you suggest arriving to the park. I know thousands of people go there on this day but what time would I need to be there in order to be close to the pyramid instead of being in the back row and not being able to see? Thank you.

I've never been nor would I go - a shadow moving at the speed of the setting sun isn't something that I would go through that much headache for. But if you want to go, you have about 5 days on either side of the actual solstice to see the same phenomenon. Do yourself a favour and go a few days before or after and miss a lot of the crowds.

Be there when they open if you want the front row.
