Penn is the most attended meet in the US.
An even more interesting quesito might be how many of the above totals aren't 1) athletes running in the meet 2) coaches
3) direct relative of 1) 2)
On Saturday there might be 10-20,000 true fans but I have no idea of the true estimate.
How big is that stadium?

I think that they have sold out on Saturdays before, so about 50,000 give or take.
Yah manh from dee Eye Lunds.
90% of the crowd were Jamaicans present for the high school races. Penn interleaves the high school and college races so the stands are full for the college races, but there's not much noise for the college races, as opposed to when Homewood Tech, Brooklyn Boys and Girls, Long Beach Wilson, etc. is on the track. The evening distance carnival is always empty except for the coaches and friends of the runners. Notice that there are no pictures of the distance carnival available on the track groupie websites. The hobby snapshooters with press credentials for the track groupie websites only photograph the sprints, hurdles, 800 relay, and DMR. They could care less about the distances.
90% of crowd Jamaican?
Lot of white Jamaican's??
I thought that everyone came out to watch the USA vs. the World, or at least that's what USATF's PR people would have you believe...

Well if they "could care less" then maybe they'd photograph the races. I could care less if I won the lottery. Why would I, though? I think I'd enjoy caring quite a bit. However, I couldn't care less about your silly "analysis" of Penn Relays.
The of the crowd was 90% Jamaicans. Lots of big butt bubblelicious chicks for us guys who want sumthin to hold onto all night.
