Bernie Sanders has hit the ground running with rally after rally after announcing that he is running for President of the United States. His first rally, in Brooklyn, was attended by 13,000 to 15,000 people. His second rally, in Chicago, was attended by about 12,500 people. How many came to his rally tonight in Council Bluffs, Iowa? The venue was packed, but an official estimate isn’t yet available. The photo at the top of this story was shared by LegacyZeroYT on Twitter, who is a content creator and volunteered at the event tonight, sharing moment-by-moment updates about the rally. Read on to learn more about how many people were at the rally and see photos from tonight.

The Council Bluffs event was held at the Mid-America Center on 1 Arena Way. The Mid-America Center has an official maximum capacity of 9,000 people for concerts. However, tonight’s event was not in the actual arena but in the Exhibit Hall at the Mid-America Center. According to Eventective.com, the maximum capacity for the exhibition hall at the Mid-America Center is 2,666. It’s not clear if this would be an accurate estimate for tonight’s rally. We’ll update this story when the campaign shares more details.

But no matter how you look at it, the event was packed and Sanders’ supporters were excited to be there. An hour before the event was starting, the room was already filling up.

And it was filling up more just a few minutes before the event was going to begin.

A scan of the crowd moments before the event started showed a full arena.

At one point, Sanders said, “Thank you Iowa” and someone yelled back, “Thank you for running!”

Here’s another great angle.

As happens in every rally, Sanders reminded the crowd that everyone was needed for this to be a success, not just him. And the crowd shouted, “Not me, you!” and “Not me, Us!”
