World Championships Attendee Number

How many people were actually at the 2013 World Championships. I looked around, but I couldn't find a number anywhere. Does FIRST release it anywhere?

Thanks

Is this what you're looking for?

I'm pretty sure FIRST doesn't have a count of the number of attendees. They do have some estimates here: http://www3.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FIRST_Championship/CMP_AtAGlance.pdf

Actually, that's perfect! Thanks!

Of course, those don't count the many spectators, parents, etc. Due to the setup of the event, it is extremely difficult to get even an accurate measurement of numbers. But that link is the closest that they have.

I have been told approximately 18,000-21,000 unique attendees at championships by some FIRST peeps.
