That 27,000 comes straight out of a bullshit Sanders press release.

ABC reported otherwise, apparently relying on NYPD estimates:

Sanders held a rally in Washington Square Park, which was closed all day Wednesday at the request of the Secret Service. 6,500 people were estimated to be in the park for the rally with an additional 5,000 supporters outside the park for a total of 11,500.
