…don’t you find it hard to believe that there were twice as people in streets surrounding the park than in the entire park itself? That’s what the police seem to be saying. I’m quite familar with the area (it’s a very large park), and I find it difficult to believe, anyway. Perhaps the 34,000 estimate of the park’s capacity is grossly undervalued.
because the crowds had spilled out in to them.
…the only real explanation is that the park itself holds much more than 34,000. I don’t doubt the 100,000 figure based on the photos.
The area between the boundaries of Civic Center and the Capitol steps is much larger than Civic Center itself, and it was full from 14th to Colfax. Plus everyone on surrounding sidewalks spilling into neighborhoods. It’s not at all hard to explain.
…The area of the Civic Center Park (which is bounded by Bannock and Broadway, Colfax and 14th Ave) is bigger than the area between Broadway and the Capitol steps. You have it exactly backwards. Check a map:

The streets surrounding the park are wide, and of course being outside the perimeter of the park are a correspondingly larger area per depth.
Also, the park itself holds 34,000; it looks like the rally spilled well onto the Capitol grounds and other buildings surrounding the park.
IIRC, I saw numbers like 200,000 in Portland.
I believe was the upper end of the estimate. The Berlin rally got 200,000, which is why St. Louis and Denver top the list for domestic rallies …
Knew I saw 200,000 from somewhere.
Colorado is fired up for Obama. Now let’s get them all out and voted.
Obama is campaigning like he did in Iowa. Anyone remember the Jefferson Jackson speech he gave?
That was his closing argument then. He’s making an even better one now.
