750,000 + fans showed up at the parade!

All things considering, with the parade being held on a Wednesday, and the cluster fcuk that Boston and the surrounding areas are in because of all the snow, that turnout was impressive!

Kudos to Pats Nation! We love this team!!!!

Patriot Nation responded, as expected, well notwithstanding meteo conditions - GREAT !

Given the conditions, I find that number to be extraordinary, especially since much of the media was telling people not to come....and for good reason. Very proud of my fellow New Englanders

BTW - Since we are all in the mood for dumping on the Colts these days for good reason, I heard a related story from Jeff Saturday (who seems like too good a guy to be associated with such a corrupt franchise). He and Woody were talking about their parade experiences and how great they were. What I found interesting was both were held on extremely cold days, (Woody in 2001, and Saturday after the 2006 season). I was at the first parade and can testify that it was COLD Well in Indy, because it was cold, those ****ies had their "parade" INDOORS at their stadium.

Given the great turnout today, I thought that was an interesting insight into the make up of the 2 respective regions.

The City of Boston can do Herculean things.

I disagree with those who yesterday felt the parade was a bad idea given the circumstances. I also disagree with the naysayers who think the Olympics are "too much for Boston to handle".

Over the past two decades, Boston has graduated from it's flatfooted past. Yesterday, it was fully capable of welcoming in the incredibly tough and loyal fans from all over New England.
