Did you see the guy counting all the people in the crowd on top of the Ren-Cen?
 He spent all day counting the people who came.  He might have missed a few
people who were behind some tres, or counted some people twice, but he did a
good job.





 ummm, ok - is anyone else not quite sure about these numbers?

 750,000 seems to be a super high number to me, especially considering that
 we parked less than 2 blocks away all weekend.

 how many people come down to the fireworks every year?  i thought that
 number was around a million, and when there are that many people downtown
 it's packed crazy can't move can't park can't breath.

 trust me, i'm not dissing the attendance - it was amazing - but i'm just
 wondering if these numbers aren't a little high?

 well, from what I understand from the article in the newspaper this
 morning,
 the city isnt allowed to count officially...but the estimated figure was
 900,000 plus. You have to decrease that a little a bit for triple counts
 (example:i went all three days,so perhaps I was count three times).
