The Great Nuggets Crowd Conundrum: Just How Many Fans Flooded the Streets?
The champagne corks are still popping, the confetti's probably ankle-deep somewhere downtown, and Denver is still buzzing from the epic Nuggets championship parade. But one question lingers in the air thicker than celebratory haze: exactly how many people were there?
Eyewitness Accounts: From a Sprinkle to a Swarm
Reports are all over the map, folks. We've got some folks claiming it felt like "every Nuggets fan on the planet" descended on Denver. News outlets are throwing around numbers like confetti: hundreds of thousands, even millions. One guy I saw on a scooter swore he saw his grandma who lives in Florida (jury's out on that one).
The Official Tally: Take it With a Grain of Salt
Now, Denver's Mayor, the ever-optimistic Michael Hancock, weighed in with an estimate of 700,000 to 1 million people. That's a lotta folks, enough to fill Mile High Stadium... twice! But here's the thing, counting a crowd that size is like counting jellybeans in a giant, sugar-coated blender. It's messy, it's imprecise, and there's a good chance you'll get sticky.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
