Flex Pro - What was the crowd size?
« on: February 19, 2011, 11:47:21 PM »
For those of you that attended today's Flex Pro, pre-judging or evening show, I'm just curious what size audience did it get?  Was it sold out?  If not, was it three-fourths full, two-thirds full, half full?

Not (Arnold Classic crowded) but the usual amount who would attend on another rainy February  night in LA!   Especially with the All Stars going on!

It was fkin' crazy, bro! Trust me! They had to remove the seats because of so many last-minute participants getting their tickets just before the show at the door - crowd was standing all over the place...

I estimate over 400 at prejudging, and a little over 1,000 at the evening show.    The seating capacity at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium is around 2,800 or so

Obscure, but I totally got it.  Unfortunately, the GNC was a tragic story of what 'coulda been' if only the right people had been in charge of making the SHOW decisions.

I would've preferred competing with 'American Idol' for the old Ironman location in Pasadena.   ;)

NPC shows can garner a large audience because of family and friends that come to support the competitor.  Pro contests tickets are much more expensive, and the competitors come from all over, which don't bring in the family and friends, but the die hard fans who come to watch.

Ron is pretty close....we had just under 600 at Prejudging, and right around 1200 at the night show....floor seating was 700 seats

All in all it was a very well run production, finals time was just over 2 hours...

Thanks   but why bother?  SOME one here are not into the sport of just want such stats to knock it down further.   Some have never and will never go to the shows.  But they like sitting at their moms boyfriends apartment criticizing the sport.  I saw you snapping away during the Pound 4 Pound contest.
