This is definitely not 1,000 people, as @RealDonaldTrump is complaining the NY Times reported. Based on my experience seeing more than 250 of these kinds of events, I estimated the crowd at 8,000. Listed capacity for the arena is 9,700 (or 8,000 for basketball games, w/o floor) https://t.co/xFlYLb64Zg
