Yes, ABC and the other Alphabet stations are using the “official” figure of 60,000. That doesn’t explain the fact that they(the police)shut down roads and wouldn’t let any more people drive in because there wasn’t any more room. The official figure is BS,the on picture alone showing the crowd from the capitol to the Washington Monument has more than 60,000 people in it, hundreds of thousands is more like it. It was hard to get an exact estimate because people kept coming in for hours, but more than the one area was filled with people. I know there had to be at least 200,000 and very possibly several times that. I like the 1.2 million estimate that the police gave at first and then later clammed up about it.

Here's a typical home game attendance at Texas A&M's Kyle Field for comparison. The stadium has a stated seating capacity of around 82,000 but has held upward of 90,000.
