According to the above post, the 75,000 estimate is not exaggeration. "The sea of heads stretches for half a mile along the grassy embankment, while others watch from kayaks and power boats bobbing on the Willamette River. More hug the rails for the steel bridge that stretches across the water and crowds are even watching from jetties on the opposite shore."
Can you spell "phenomenon"?
