On What Constitutes a Crowd and How to Describe It

Michael Ceraolo

Three’s a crowd says the cliche
There are times for me when two is a crowd
There are many places on the planet
where one (human) is a crowd
How to describe a crowd,
i.e.,
the proper adjective:
to me,
it’s all relative,
it has nothing to do with absolute numbers
It has everything to do with the number in place
in relation to the designated space:
a group of one hundred and fifty
showing up for an event at a place
with a capacity of a hundred
would be a large crowd;
twenty thousand people
in a seventy-thousand seat sports stadium
is generally considered a small crowd
Discuss amongst yourselves
