Bernie Sanders' 'True Believers' Pack Boston Campaign Event [View all]

Last edited Sat Oct 3, 2015, 11:58 PM - Edit history (2)

Bernie Sanders swept through Massachusetts Saturday, drawing large crowds in both Springfield and Boston.

More than 20,000 people came out to see him in Boston, filling the stadium floor at the Boston Exhibition and Convention Center. A few thousand did not fit inside but stayed in cold weather and watched the speech on screens in an overflow area outside

You guys are the true believers," Sanders said, addressing those in the dark outside who gave him a celebrity's welcome after his hour and half speech inside the arena.

"Thank you for freezing out here," he continued standing on a platform with a microphone and waving to the crowd over their cheers. "Were you able to see the speech?

Over 20,000 Showed up to Feel The Bern in Boston
This story has been updated with info from Bernie’s official campaign.

Boston was Feeling The Bern today perhaps more than any other city Bernie Sanders has been to yet. Early estimates put the crowd inside at 26,000 plus jammed into the Boston Convention Center and another six to eight thousand in an overflow area that wish they’d shown up earlier. Bernie’s campaign however has come out with a figure that the crowd was over 20,000. So we’ll say the crowd was between 20K and 32K. Either way it’s still a whole lot of Berners.
