And again, I doubt 250K came to Chicago for the draft to only have room for 3K show up to watch it.  Counting people that are there anyway and happen to walk by is not the same as someone going specifically for an event.  IF that many people cared that much about being at the NFL draft, they wouldn't be held in 5k seat venues.  and just because you let people congregate in a park because you have something going on where there are a million people doesn't mean you drew 600K either. The biggest thing I probably helped plan for was a car show that sees maybe 10K LOL, so no, I don't have experience with it, i'm not claiming to. But if Oshkosh WI can see over 100K in a weekend for either of it's music fests or over 600K in the week for EAA, I'm sure GB can handle 100K or so for the draft that might make the trip.</blockquote>
