Biggest attendance for any event in KC history they are saying on the webcast.

I am watching on ESPN3, and they have the KMBC broadcast with Larry Moore.

Hopefully the Royals get a bunch of new fans from this. Like the 2 chicks on my team who I know have never watched a Royals game ever yet took off to go down.

FloridaMan88 11-03-2015 12:28 PM

Who are the people inside the pick-up trucks driving the players?

Why Not? 11-03-2015 12:44 PM

The shot of all the cops I'm front of the truck with the blown up trophy really got K for some reason.

MahiMike 11-03-2015 01:00 PM

Watching on TV. KC looking good.

ChiTown 11-03-2015 01:17 PM

Thinking of Mr. K, Splitt and Dick Howser today. Those guys have to be grinning ear-to-ear from the Box Seats up above.....

I like how Ned keeps securing the trophy to the top of the truck. Very carefully!

I'm at Union Station & I'm hearing people have parked their cars on I-70 & I-35 to watch this. That's insane.

A cop I just talked to said they underestimated this whole thing. He thinks there are 750,000 - 1,000,000 people here.

The traffic jam getting out of here is going to be nuts. Pray for me.

Can confirm that there are some cars parked on I-35 shoulder, south of the SW Blvd exit.

Coach 11-03-2015 02:32 PM

Johnny Gomes proudly waving that American Flag. Dude is awesome.

scho63 11-03-2015 02:38 PM

I've seen some large masses of people at the National Mall in D.C. for major events and this looks just like it.

I estimate there are at least 400,000-500,000 people in attendance. Pretty impressive but a little claustrophobic!

eDave 11-03-2015 02:41 PM

LOL. Salvy.

I can't have the volume up at work, but I've been tabbing back over to it when I get a chance. I saw him drop the mic into the crowd (I think).

Good thing open container is legal in MO or Gomes wouldn't have made it through the parade.

Pitt Gorilla 11-03-2015 03:08 PM

Anybody getting that SI TV Offer subscription? Looks like a decent deal.

Raiderhater 11-03-2015 03:22 PM

I was down for the parade but left just as it was coming to an end. Even my scrawny ass couldn't wiggle close enough to see much of anything. Utterly insane the number of people out there. I got back to Westport (where I parked) in time to catch the rally on TV at one of the bars. Would have loved to have stayed for all of it, but it just want worth it since I wasn't going to see our hear shit.

I parked at City Market and walked down to P&L where I hung out and watched the majority of it on the big screen above the live stage.

I was able to communicate via TWC wifi there which was nice due to cellular service being a complete no-show.

Totally insane.

WhawhaWhat 11-03-2015 03:33 PM

I was at the parade but skipped the rally. The amount of people was insane.

Coach 11-03-2015 03:45 PM

Traffic Jams?

Yes.

Got to Union Station about 10:15 and it was already filling up... insane how many more people jammed into that area after that. Sitting on hotel wifi, thinking I might get home by 7... maybe?

I escaped the core of downtown right as the rally was starting. Good luck out there, people. Don't try to beat a ****ing yellow.

Looking at you, school bus that blocked the intersection of Wyandotte and 13th for 20 minutes.

scho63 11-03-2015 03:57 PM

The bars and bartenders are going to make a small fortune down there today along with anyone selling souvenirs.

Good time for home burglars to rob houses with everyone in the plaza including the police!

Eleazar 11-03-2015 03:59 PM

It'll be hours before people can get out of there it looks like, but what a scene!

scho63 11-03-2015 04:00 PM

After 30 years, you Royals fans deserve it! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

Congrats to all, have fun and be safe!!!

HonestChieffan 11-03-2015 04:09 PM

Amazing fantastic positive crowd. Just worth whatever to be part of something so positive. The world is so ****ing screwed yet we see what is possible through a kids game.
