Crowd capacities of Harris and Trump campaign locations tomorrow

Both Harris and Trump have campaign events tomorrow. Wouldn't it be a shame if crowd sizes made Trump angry?

- Trump is in Bozeman, Montana

- Harris is in Glendale, Arizona

- Trump is at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, capacity 8,455

- Harris is at the Desert Diamond Arena, capacity 19,000

Of course we don't yet know how many people will show up at each.

They might surprise us with some protestors and half empty field house.

They'll cram everyone who shows up in Bozeman into one section of bleachers to make it look packed.

There are actually more people living there than I thought, over 50,000 in the town, 118,000 in the county.
Glendale, Arizona has 250,000, but is in the Phoenix metro area, with about 5 million people. Which place provides the better opportunity for the exposure to undecided voters and more electoral votes?

But then, Biden won Gallatin County, where Bozeman is located, in 2020, by almost nine points. So 5,000 for him is probably a good guess.
