He may be thinking of this article, where CNN suggested the Stampede was the 5th best place in the world to "party like a rock star".

On attendance - the figures given are Stampede Park admissions only. It won't include the 300-400k per year at the parade, or any of the hundreds of community, corporate and private events. All told, I would guestimate that attendance at a Stampede event is over 2 million annually.
Also, a really excellent article on the Stampede from the
Globe and Mail a couple days ago:
