Definitely.
It's like Stampede but instead of the Cowboys and Nashville North tents with drinking and country music, it has big tents with beer drinking and oompa music. Instead of a rodeo, it has more beer tents. Instead of a livestock show, it has more beer tents. Instead of other things that aren't beer tents, it has more beer tents. Even calling them "tents" is an understatement. The tents at Cowboys and Nashville North would be considered small at Oktoberfest.
Your best bet for avoiding the crowds is to go midweek rather than the weekends. I went on the opening weekend, and it was a zoo both Saturday and Sunday. I went back on the Monday, and it was much less crowded.
