The Great Nuggets Fan Stampede: How Many Showed Up to Celebrate?
The Denver Nuggets' first championship win was a legendary moment.

But one question lingered on everyone's mind: Just how many people showed up for the parade?

A River (of People) Runs Through It
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
News reports threw around numbers like confetti. "Hundreds of thousands!" declared some. "Maybe even a million!" chimed in others. Let's face it, with that much excitement, counting heads was probably a low priority. It's safe to say enough people showed up to make even the most enthusiastic cheerleader hoarse.
The Official Guesstimate (with a Side of Nuggets)
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
Denver's ever-optimistic Mayor Hancock offered a conservative estimate of 700,000 to 1 million fans. That's like fitting the entire population of Miami (okay, maybe not the whole population, but definitely a good chunk of it) into downtown Denver. Imagine the high-fives, the chants of "M-V-P!" echoing off the buildings, the sheer mountain of empty chicken wing boxes.
