This entire stadium.

(Meadowlands for those of us who grew up in the tristate area) in NJ has a seating capacity of 82,500. So unfortunately there's room to grow on the stadium analogy...

Some tracks can seat up to 200,000.

If an entire NASCAR crowd went missing, you’d still be here.

33,643 Killed in action in Korea 1950 - 1953. We have surpassed that in the last 18 days. Gives you some more perspective.

What is happening now was implausible to me just six months ago, even with an incompetent like Trump in charge. I thought it would've something else, like an ill advised military attack on Iran.
