President Donald Trump announced Thursday evening that his re-election campaign rally at the SNHU Arena broke the stadiums previous attendance record, held by rock star Elton John.
The SNHU Arena holds nearly 12,000 people, and was nearly filled to capacity when the U.S. Secret Service closed the doors. Thousands more people watched the presidents speech on giant television screens outside the arena.
There were several hundred left-wing protesters, too, some of whom formed a gauntlet that forced Trump supporters to walk past crowds of people shouting Shame! a potentially dangerous situation, though there was no violence. Several peacemakers were visible in orange jerseys, ostensibly to prevent clashes between the two sides.

Trump, he funny guy.
Us SNHU Alumni call the place the SNHUperdome.
The USNH Arena has a maximum capacity of 11,716 for this event for fire code. There were at least 2000-3000 standing on the floor. I was stage right 60 feet from the stage.
I was right behind Rudy Giuliani.
The seats up in the upper deck behind the stage were not full because the floor was floor. There were also people standing next to us in the aisle. There were also people standing all along the luxury box level.
It was a full capacity. Once again the media IS LYING. FAKE NEWS.
FYI, I live about 15 miles SW of Manchester. The hotels in downtown were full. The SNHU Arena did not have enough concession staff. My wife waited in line for 1 1/2 hours to buy two cokes. They had run out of food.
It took 20 minutes just to get out of the arena. We walked back to where we parked near the Fischer Cats baseball stadium. It was grid lock for the next 45 minutes. After sitting in our parked vehicle for 10 minutes we decided to go have a drink at the Hilton Garden Inn patio bar across the street. It was full of Trump supporters. They had 1 bartender and two waitresses on. They were RUNNING.
FYI, there were people from all over New England and the NE.
We sat next to a couple from Albany. Three hours away. They had gotten to the arena at 7 am. The guy next to me was from Mass. He got there at 9 am. There were people who camped out overnight. They started lining up at 7 pm the night before.
Also, based on my unofficial poling. I would say there were just as many people there from Mass as NH. Maybe even more. Keep in mind, Manchester is only a 40 minute drive from the border.

Sorry SNHU Arena.
Sorry again:
The floor was floor.
maybe I should proof read before posting
HOLY CRAP!
The floor was FULL.
I am just saying that RSBN zoomed out and panned behind Trump. The entire upper concourse seemed to be pretty much empty behind him. However they only panned behind Trump. I would assume that the journalist’s were located in the upper concourse in front of Trump.
turd time is the churn...wait...third time is the churn...
I got it, Third time is the charm:)
As the speech went on, a lot of people started to move around. The folks on each side of us got up and left with a half of an hour left to go. We were surprised people started to clear out when we did.
Bingo
Look through the Video. The pan I was talking about is at about the 6 hours and 48 minute mark. You can see that the seats might have been full starting around the 180 degree mark.

That may be the case. By about halfway through Trump’s speech people started coming down and standing in the aisles. There were not ushers like there is during a ball game. The only real security was on the floor.
Also, people moved down and stood on the floor on the side of the stage, etc. You could move around anywhere you wanted other then right up by the stage. That is where the SS guys were along with mixed in the crowd on the floor.
Remember yesterday she cnn was slobbering over themselves about the 700 people warren had in New Hampshire.
