I wonder which meets have the largest attendance: east, west or central like Austin or Indy?
Here are the numbers from the last ten years:
1996 5/9–12 Cupertino, Calif. 2048 8/21–25 Ann Arbor, Mich. 1176
1997 5/15–18 Federal Way, Wash. 1438 8/14–17 Orlando, Fla. 881
1998 5/7–10 Indianapolis, Ind. 1738 8/20–23 Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. 922
1999 5/13–16 Santa Clara, Calif. 2060 8/19–23 Minneapolis, Minn. 949
2000 4/27–30 Indianapolis, Ind. 1390 8/17–20 Baltimore, Md. 1380
2001 5/17–20 Santa Clara, Calif. 1850 8/16–19 Federal Way, Wash. 959
2002 5/14–17 Honolulu, Hawaii 1103 8/16–19 Cleveland, Ohio 1022
2003 5/15–18 Tempe, Ariz. 1922 8/13–17 Rutgers, N.J. 871
2004 4/22–25 Indianapolis, Ind. 1564 8/12–15 Savannah, Ga. 1084
2005 5/19–22 Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. 1620 8/10–14 Mission Viejo, Calif. 1109
2006 5/4–7 Coral Springs, Fla. 1271Not held - World Championships
2007 5/17–20 Federal Way, Wash. 1456 8/10–13 The Woodlands, Tex. 911
(the ones in italics I added from looking at the meet rosters. Everything else is just cut and pasted from the rule book)
If you look at just the short course numbers, the meets that have had close to or over 2,000 entries have all been in the West (Santa Clara, Cupertino, Tempe). Of course the biggest long course meet was in Baltimore. Other than that one attendance seems to be fairly constant at around 1,000 for the LC meet.
