Hmmm...a lot less attendants to the Memorial compared to last year

 

Jeffrey Winder: "And what about the Memorial attendance? How encouraging that 20,635,015 attended the Memorial and that 15 lands reported an all-time peak attendance!"

 

Yes, it is down on last year, but TBH I think it also fluctuates year-on-year depending on the day-of-the-week, and relation of the date to the holiday season 🤷‍♂️

We will not know the lands until the SYR is released in late December/early January .... but it is always great to see peak attendances, especially when those lands are 'bucking-the-trend' of a lower overall attendance figure. (FWIW, last year had a higher overall attendance figure, and some 36 lands reported all-time peaks.)
