  1. Are we actually supposed to believe these numbers 600,000? 750,000? It’s absolutely ridiculous. Let’s take the low number, 600k, over 3 days, that is 200,000 per day (if the attendance were spread evenly each day, which it is not). Sorry but that doesn’t even pass the laugh test. I remember watching Detroit and Nashville, the crowd wasn’t half of the number they claimed.

    Does IBJ just print information in press releases without any scrutiny whatsoever? What’s the point of a newsroom or an editorial staff?

  2. John, this is a Washington Post story. There were no press releases involved. I can tell you that these numbers are compiled by the NFL based on gate entry for each day of the draft. So, if somebody shows up for three straight days, that person is counted as three people toward the overall attendance number. The aerial photos for these events show massive crowds. What makes you think the numbers are inaccurate?
