I remember standing in the Main Library on 10th street while they shot some of the race scenes.

Was looking down into the 10th Street Stadium, where they had assembled a crowd (such as it was).

They advertised for students to come out and be unpaid extras to form the crowd.

Didn't have enough to fill the stadium but they did cover maybe 90 degrees, compressing the people into tight areas in the stands to make convincing crowd shots.

If you look, you won't see a lot of panning the crowd for this reason.

can someone direct me to a thread about The Rider?
