FloydFest final attendance, first estimate
FF organizers said on Sunday that they had estimated between 12,000-15,000 showed up. UPDATE: By Tuesday, the final estimate was about 12,000, according to spokeswoman Linda DeVito.
Even at the low end of that estimate, the festival's 7th incarnation would finish atop its previous attendance figures. An estimated 10,000-12,000 went last year.
Frankly, I wouldn't want to see attendance get much higher. The grounds are on Saturday were pretty full, but not obnoxiously so. There's plenty of elbow room, no frustratingly long lines anywhere -- including most of the food and drink vendors -- and camping is not overcrowded.
I'll try to find out the festival grounds' capacity this week. UPDATED: FF spokeswoman Linda Devito says that organizer believe the grounds would max out at about 14,000 people.
