I was talking to my mom about this earlier. I pointed out that each local church chapter is incentivized (even if central church authorities have not said anything, in private or in public) to bring as many people as they can as a show of "good church stewardship" or whatever.
I fully expected them to fill up the venue, even expecting some spill over, and the coverage on that church's TV network has emphasized the size of the crowds.
That said, I wonder what's the peak crowd numbers have been. I fully expect it to have peaked around 4pm earlier.
