2004 Republican National Convention in NYC

Many people took advantage of whatever space was available to lie down or stretch. This was very early in the evening and there was still lots of space since there were only a few dozen of us. Later, when that turned into hundreds, people would sit along the fences while others milled around in the center. There wasn't enough space to lie down once it got to that stage which tells you how many people were crammed into what was really a pretty huge space. (Incidentally, you can see a cop walking on the outside heading away from the offices in the back and towards the tables in the front.)
