The parade set a record at about 425,000.
Who knows how many people partook in pancake breakfasts.... Chinook Centre has estimated in the past that it draws 60k, while the Stampede Caravan estimated 120k.
Add in all of the parties...
Overall, attendance at a Stampede event - on or off the grounds - could easily be estimated at over 2 million.
In short, the only people who don't partake in some fashion or another were those who are biologically incapable of having fun.

I think we will see the attendance plateau around the 1.2 million just because the Stampede Grounds have not really grown recently, they have not added no real attractions recently, and really the grounds are already crowded at that 1.2 million number.
Add to that the growing amount of "Stampede" options outside of the grounds (Cowboys tent, Wildhorse tent, Fort Calgary, etc) and you have to think that the attendance will probably plateau.
Although the investment that they are expected to make to celebrate the 100th anniversary next year could probably change all of that.
