OK, in terms of how many people could have been in there:
The Platinum Ballroom of the Anaheim Mariott is 26,215 sq ft. Its capacity as a theater is 3200, a reception 3585, and BANQUET is 2010.
This means the media is lyin’ again. It was standing room only in 90% of the room (a few chairs on the front sides). There was certainly no room for banquet tables. So it was probably 3000 people just from that info alone.
Okay, thank you, Yaelle!
Standing room only!
From you, and you were there!
Take *that* lamestream!
