Open SSID in a venue with a dense population

[rchester]

We want to deploy an open WLAN with CWA for a small number of clients within a densely populated sporting venue.

We are thinking of a large (class B) subnet and short (1 hour) DHCP lease times

Would this be practical or would the large number of unintentional associations cause an issue with the WLC or DHCP?

I'd cut the DHCP lease time to just 15 minutes.  When the game is on, I doubt if a lot of people will be busy with the wireless.
