I didn’t read through this thread when it started, but am reading it now. There was a big mistake earlier. It was stated that if women would have been allowed at the asifa, the crowd would have doubled. This is not true. If women were allowed, the chassidim would not have come, and the stadium would have been half empty. Over 2/3 of the crowd was chassidish.
Also, it said add 25% for kids under 19. I saw pictures of chassidish kids well under 19 coming to the asifa.
