The aerial photograph that has been referred to as the Promise Keepers event appears to me to be pretty much identical to a poster I have of that crowd. Note the towers down the center of the crowd. These displayed jumbotrons that allowed people way back from the main stage to see and hear the speakers. Was there anything like that at the 9/12 event. I attended tne PK event and it is a little hard to imagine how you’d pack very many more folks in there, but I suppose it could be done if the police and other officials were intent on hitting a high number as opposed to keeping it small and manageable.
