I was at two football games on Sat., one with 75000+ and the other with 110000. By the size of the pictured crowds I would put the number closer to the 75000 (but a bit below that number).

Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-party' demonstration

By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 9:39 PM on 12th September 2009

Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as "Obamacare makes me sick" as they protested the president's health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending. The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.
Click on the link now. They've cut their estimate in half. Still not right, of course. "Last updated at 1:53 AM on 14th September 2009."

Park service changes course, plans to offer crowd estimate
By Martha T. Moore, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Reversing a 13-year-old policy, the National Park Service said Monday that it will offer an official crowd estimate for today's presidential inauguration to determine whether the event will set a record.
Of course. Point?

Yes, do compare and contrast:
At least the 912er's had the courtesy to place the trash by the filled trash cans.

I think I will take the OFFICIAL arbiters of crowd estimation for The Mall - the Park Service and their schematic.

Nate Silver is a leftist hack and like the rest of the leftists will go to great lengths to "explain" away the great turnout from yesterday/
lol....At least he correctly predicted who would become President and got the electoral math pretty close too.

Now you...

We know what a great prognosticator you are.
