90,000 to 100,000 at Saint Paul march

[Foo Fighter]

"Officials now estimate between 90,000 and 100,000 people — up to five times the expected number — joined ranks to form a blocks-long protest from Cathedral Hill to the State Capitol on Saturday morning for the Women’s March Minnesota.

The event, which was the largest in St. Paul since the 2008 Republican National Convention, was one of hundreds held around the world Saturday, as people rallied to protest the inauguration of President Donald Trump and express support for a variety of concerns, including women’s rights, protections for minorities, education, the environment and healthcare.

Early police estimates pegged the number at 60,000 — still far beyond the expected 20,000 — but by Saturday evening, a police spokesman said he agreed with organizers’s estimate of between 90,000 and 100,000."

a "counter protester" who was spraying a "chemical irritant" into the crowd.

2. It was a lot of coming and going so the crowed size was hard to estimate.

From my own experience at the Capitol I would say it's about right. Great crowd, and all age groups. Well done.
