if it's an increase from the last time CD held it, you might be on to something. if it's an increase over any track but CD, it's par for the course. CD always has higher #'s then when the bc is held elsewhere.

I've been to every Oaks/Derby the last 10 years and have a pretty good feel for the building and how it is when full. Friday's crowd was shockingly sparse. Saturday was well attended, but the attendance numbers certainly were ticket sales figures.
As to the original point, the 60 Minutes story on Zenyatta undoubtedly drove TV viewership up, but Churchill always hosts the best attended Cups. Zenyatta wasn't as big a draw in person as she was in front of the box given the Saturday gate was basically at the average attendance of previous BC visits to the Ville: 1988: 71,237 1991: 66,204 1994: 71,671 1998: 80,452 2000: 76,043 2006: 75,132 (Avg. 73,456) 2010: 72,739

Wait, so this was the least attended BC at the Downs since 1994?

'06 was freaking freezing. I was there for almost a week, and recall seeing frost on the ground virtually every morning.

Shouldn't you add Friday and Saturday together to make comparisons to previous years? Obviously they are watering down Saturday so direct comparisons to me don't make a lot of sense to other CD years.

I went in 2000. Saturday felt like So Cal compared to that day. It was pretty nasty.
The euro contingent was definitely lacking this time around. Did anyone else notice that or was it just me? This BC seemed the least euro that I can remember. The excitement in the finale was like no other BC Classic that I have been to. There was a different kind of energy it seemed. Friday was sparse...no doubt.
