I realize 775K is not your number, but there must be some fluke, like counting each person's attendance at multiple events as multiple people. If you work back to, how many hotel rooms, how many parking spaces, how many highway lanes, how much space on streetcars, people movers and buses....it's just impossible. It would take several days to move that many people. It's a great event, but the hyped numbers just force everyone else holding major events to overstate their crowds.
