The number was definitely in the hundreds of thousands. In the Washington Post article on the March, they cited a supposed police estimate of 70,000 (I thought the DC police weren't supposed to that anymore), but that is completely bogus. At the youth rally and Mass at the MCI Center, there was a full house (they had to turn people away), and the MCI Center seats more than 20,000! When the Mass let out, the youth walked down 7th Street, NW, and it looked like the March was already underway! I was near the head of line, and after reaching the base of Capitol Hill, I stopped to watch the March go by, right near the EWTN tent, and it took the March over an hour to pass by!
Huge crowd Pyro, much bigger than last year.
Awesome!
my husband said he definitely thought it was a much larger crowd than last year.
Hundreds of thousands? Yeeeeeeeeehaw!
