The National Park Service doesn’t give official crowd estimates anymore. There were protests that they underestimated the size of the Million Man March, so they decided after that not to give an estimate of the crowds. This way they can avoid complaints from anyone that the crowd was really larger/smaller than reported.

I know but Glen said this area(pointing) holds 200 thousand and that area holds 300thousand and poited to more area’s and thats how I got my figure. Unlike the million man march where they spread out.. this crowd was standing close to each other. I think Glen used the parks capacity chart. plus people were still in transit trying to get there. some got stuck in traffic and only got close before it ended.
