I was there and there was definately more then 1,000 folks there. I wonder who estimated 700? It was during the lunch hour, and a lot of people came and went at different times during the rally. It was also raining (surprise), and that probably kept a few wussies away. Plus, many of the 50,000 people who made it to the West Final live in several places in the lower mainland - far away from downtown Vancouver. I don't expect someone working in an office in downtown Richmond or Poco being able to get down there on a work day. I was lucky enough to make it because my office is only blocks away. In other words, I think there is more Lions fans than there are Stamps fans in ratio of population.
