There was a lot of people at the finals event...there wasnt just 5 rows filled...

Jerryme7,

Can you estimate how many seats were filled at the show's peak, and tell us when that was?  

The video provided by BBing.com shows 5 to 6 rows filled, at the night finals, right before the final posedown.  Now, it's very possible the place was packed earlier.  Who knows.  What time were you there, and how many rows were filled?

the show is a success

How can you possibly know that?  There could be 2 rows of people, or a packed house, and you couldn't possibly know the financials.

And how do you define "success"?  A good lineup?  Sure, he had a success in that aspect.  A good turnout?  Good ticket sale/freebie ratio?  Please tell us what rubric you use to define success.  Thanks!

Big Ron was in Denver for the show.

He'll give us the real facts on the attendance.

I don't know... Ron is hesitant to report things that portray the sport in a negative light.  he won't lie, but he might evade the question or give some vague answer like "I thought there was a good turnout".

I agree.  Ron won't lie.  So if he's evasive or vague, we'll know exactly what that means.

Just so you know, that isn't an actual pic from Colorado.  It is, however, representative, since the bb.com screen caps 240 posted are real and show pretty much the same thing.

and I didn't do it to crap on shawn.  I did it so we wouldn't have to spend the next 12 months hearing one side say there were 20 people there, and the other sides saying there were 2000 people there.

We know from the screencaps that at the conclusion of the night posing routines, right before the top 6 posedown, there were 5 to 6 rows of people.  You could see even howie within groping range of flex wheeler. There were amateur events earlier, and those usually draw more people.  Some pics of those would be good if someone has them to share.  usually an NPC guy who is local will bring his family and co-workers out.  Kinda hard for an IFBB bottom third guy from yugoslavia to do that.

The final posedown seemed to lack a little excitement... seemed like kai knew he had the win and was avoiding going tooe to toe against Rockel or Darrem, as to not blow it at the last minute.  So no head-to-heads. 

the final pose down is just to fill time.   it has no effect on the judging as the judges are already turning in their rank sheets.

I heard there was more people at Milos's seminar. 

ZING!

Is it possible the expo was a big success while the body building shows themselves where not?
