I think there is a formula determined by the pounds garbage collected and the amount of waste removed from the porta-potties. Of course unfortunately not everyone was using the porta-potties, so it was more like 225K.

I'd imaging traffic flow is also used in the formula.

I THINK I read in the paper Sunday morning that it was from feedback from local law enforcement around campus.

How do they calculate attendance at free concerts when there is no ticketing or turnstyle?

How do they calculate attendance at parades?

How did they calculate the 1 million man march?

That's what I've heard too, they took aerial views all day long and that was the estimate they came up with.

ETA: Didn't see the counting little dots part.

Probably the same way they do Mardi Gras, which is based on the amount of trash.

They counted the Beer cans, and divided that by 25.

It is really quite simple. The jets that flew over took a picture. When the picture was developed they counted the legs and divided by 2. That is why they came up with 180,000 1/2. There was a one legged man at the game.
