More than 17,000. Sure there will be seats empty. And the point is what? Sanders could only get 4,000 people to tonight's rally? Yeah. That's a sign he should pack it in.

....with that type of coverage, I'm not surprised that the attendance was much lighter at his final appearance.

Looks like more than 8,000 showed up just days earlier from this 3/26 article: http://www.wkow.com/story/31570852/2016/03/26/bernie-sanders-scheduled-to-rally-in-madison-today

ETA: Looks like another 4,300 the Saturday before this last round, breaking attendance records for that arena.

So, pretty good saturation of the area, and choosing Madison too because probably because it's a big college town.
