I read capacity could fit up to 19,000 in the Phoenix Convention Centre.
Thousands were turned away and were still outside queuing to get in as the rally was wrapping up.
Quote:
President Donald Trump indicated he spoke to about 15,000 people inside the Phoenix Convention Center at his rally Tuesday evening.
City of Phoenix spokeswoman Julie Watters on Thursday morning said that many people showed up for the rally but not all were able to enter.
"I can confirm the overall number of people who came to the rally was approximately 15,000, Watters said in an email. "There were more than 10,000 inside and there were approximately between 4,500 to 5,000 outside who were turned away because the event was wrapping up."
The Phoenix Police Department had previously confirmed that at least another 5,000 people were outside, although the ratio of Trump protesters and supporters was unclear.
