looks really full on the Mall to me.....
One thing I haven’t seen addressed, the violent libtards were blocking gate entrances to the Mall trying to prevent people from getting in.... so even photos taken just before 12 noon might have been misleading if they show any empty space when people are filling in later than usual due to the violent obstructions of the vicious leftists in the streets.
Just wondering if that would have affected the comparisons of photos with previous inaugurations which did not have such demented obstructions to overcome.
The photo is credited to Lucas Jackson...twitter...

clearly doesn’t like trump. He claims he took the photo at 12:01 but who really knows? The msm is just taking his word for it and using his photo (from twitter no less) as the one to compare to obamas.
Don’t miss the crowds visible on the extreme left and right peripery and along the sides of the Mall.
I believe Sean Spicer mentioned the access slowdown due to entrance security and demonstrators in the tongue lashing he administered to the press.
Some of the media and talking heads criticized Trum and Spicer for even mentioning such a minor issue as the crowd size.
But I believe they miss the point that it was done for a larger purpose.
Trump took a leading position right out of the gate by putting the media on notice that he will not lay down and let them manipulate public opinion and trash him the way they did George W. Bush.
Every building that I saw had cameras way up high. If one could get the pictures/video from those cameras, it would show the thousands of people who were stuck in lines, unable to get onto the mall. I was in a line for over 4 1/2 hours, and only made it onto the mall for the last minute of Trumps speech. The “security” check was a joke. No information leaked down the line about what was causing the holdup. The only protesters I saw were chanting about water & housing rights.
