Attendance
Estimates of attendance vary widely. The Philadelphia police gave no official estimates, but were preparing for up to 600,000. However, a study provided by the University of Pennsylvania in addition to aerial footage, photos, and other research data and information obtained from news and other sources indicates that the gathering drew at least 500,000 persons. Police sources gave numbers varying from 300,000 to 1 million. Organizers estimated an attendance of 2.1 million. Phile Chionesu suggested there were more than 2.5 million people.

Famous quotes containing the word attendance:
“We, too, had good attendance once,
Hearers and hearteners of the work;
Aye, horsemen for companions,
Before the merchant and the clerk
Breathed on the world with timid breath.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
