(4,999 posts)I counted number of people in a block of the bleachers, counted the number blocks.
Counted the number of rows and columns of seats.
I estimated 2000 based on that. So maybe 4000 if I had made an egregious error of some sort in my method.

Looks like NPR should check their sources better.

(18,969 posts)Not sure why DU is obsessed with how many people went to this rally. 2,000, 5,000, doesn't matter.
What I do think is funny is that he had this crown standing on blacktop in the sun for hours.
