oldbandguy Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 2022 Finals attendance was over 23,000. That's PAID ATTENDANCE. A good bit higher when you factor in those in attendance that did not have to pay...like other corps members, staff, volunteers, Impact Band and parents, USMC etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Potter has it on his FB page this afternoon. He has some pretty good connections so I'm thinking it's probably a good number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that but apparently skimmed too quickly thinking it was about the Corps more than the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe c Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The fail was people following each other off the cliff. From the other side of the stadium, it was walk up and walk in. Nobody parking and walking in from that side could see “a line” (or even knew it was there because it was on the other side of the building). Apparently, those that queued in “the big line” were unable to see that there were 11 open turnstiles at the E gates just past the 4 they were bottlenecking into and, through what amounted to peer pressure, kept themselves from the show by assuming the others around them were doing it correctly. Turns out they weren’t. Would a little outside crowd control or direction have helped? Probably. I imagine posting a few volunteers outside next year will improve this situation.

George Dixon Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I quickly counted from a video - 7,000 made it in, the other 21,000 gave up in line and went back to the hotel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are kidding but I saw people get out of line and do that very thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
