Did anyone here go to the rally at MMP yesterday? I wish I could have broken out of work/jail to check it out...i read that there were some 15000 people there! wow

I was there and it seemed more like 5-10k, but the entire field level along the 3rd base line was full along with a few thousand people looking for a free lunch at the conession stands.
