Ah, the Kansas City parade. A glorious celebration of pigskin prowess and Patrick Mahomes' magic right arm.

Buckle up, because this gets wilder than a Travis Kelce touchdown dance.

A Sea of Red, But How Deep?
Here's the official line: City officials estimated the crowd at a whopping one million strong. That's enough people to form a human wave that would make the Mexican fans at a World Cup match jealous. Think about it: a million people! That's more folks than live in some entire states (cough cough, Wyoming, cough).
But here's the rub: Counting a crowd that size is about as easy as wrangling toddlers at a candy convention. News outlets threw around numbers ranging from 800,000 to a cool mil. Some folks who were there swear it felt like everyone in the midwest showed up.

Detectives on the Case: Who Dunnit?
So, how do we crack this case? Here's what we do know:
- The city spent a pretty penny: Nearly a million bucks went into putting on the parade. That kind of dough suggests they were expecting a big crowd.
- Schools were closed: No school? Sounds like the whole dang city was ready to party.
- Social media went bananas: Your feed was probably overflowing with parade pics. If everyone and their grandma was posting, it had to be a big turnout.
The Verdict? A Celebration for the Ages
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Look, at the end of the day, the exact number might be fuzzy math. But one thing's for sure: it was a parade to remember. A million, eight hundred thousand, a gazillion Chiefs fans strong - that city was painted red and ready to rumble.
