    Are you talking about at the launch, That would have been about the 3 day total maybe. I drove by the expo early Saturday morning and the line was was almost half way around the building.

    Not really shure how they get the totals there's no counting system as far as how many people or tickets are sold because all events are free. Last year in Greenville we had 145000 people. But hey its growing every year

    They weren't in the seats.....TB arena only holds about 22K people. 153K is basically the attendance that went through the doors at the Expo. I was there Saturday and from the looks of it they were all there that day.......needless to say it was packed.

    I think they have a good idea of the expo numbers. We were coming up the escalator and they were not letting anyone go down, I guess there were to many people down there because the escalator was working

    I live here and I'm very proud of how the classic went. I was hoping Knoxville would handle this well. The take off crowd apparently was packed each morning. I never went down there, I have a place down river I watched from the bank. Hope every one that came was treated well by us Tn people. Hope you have safe travels home, and come again.

    it will go by the way of NASCAR if they are not careful, hard to be a fan with new talent every year and the old ones gone, it takes a few years to build a fan base , as for the new anglers , it will take a few years to even put a face with thier name , I like the old veterans myself, Not really a fan of the MLF format either , MLF has no membership , which is what made BASS what it is , and the magazine , not to mention the Classic and trade show, without that MLF has limitations I think
