dean Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'm definitely glad that I didn't go to the parade. City officials yesterday estimated around 250,000 people. The mayor's office just tweeted that the number was closer to 800,00 people. The population of the metro area is 2,400,000 people, so one third of the population was downtown, in a 16 square block area. The parade had more than twice the number of viewers than any other event in our history (the dedication of Liberty Memorial after World War I probably comes in second). It shouldn't be quite as bad leaving downtown, as many will continue the party at various bars downtown and midtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
