Didn't I read earlier where folks were laughing over empty seats?  :shrug:

Donald Trump's claim that his Thursday night campaign rally broke a longstanding attendance record is true, according to the fire department official who supervised the crowd-counting.

'Great news!' the president tweeted after returning from the Southern New Hampshire University Arena to his New Jersey golf resort. 'Tonight, we broke the all-time attendance record previously held by Elton John at #SNHUArena in Manchester, New Hampshire!'

Manchester Deputy Fire Marshal Mitchell Cady told DailyMail.com that Trump was right – that his crowd numbered 'just over 11,500.'

Calling the president's tweet 'a topic of discussion around here,' Cady revealed that 'the arena staff said Elton John was around 11,300' in April 2004.

I saw him in concert during the Bi-Centennial celebration year... Philadelphia Freedom Tour or something like that.

At the Capital Centre outside Washington, DC.   One of the best I've ever seen.   happy77
