More than 750,000 turn out for the Brewers' World Series parade, about 1.5 times Milwaukee's population

FOX6 has the police estimate and how it compares; Spectrum News talks to fans who remember the 1982 team (and its $18 seats).

The Milwaukee Brewers' championship parade and rally on Friday, Oct. 30, drew more than 750,000 people, according to the Milwaukee Police Department, FOX6 reports. That is nearly one and a half times the city's population of about 560,000 and almost 13% of Wisconsin's. Police said preliminary research suggests it may be the largest single-day event in state history; the NFL Draft in Green Bay drew about 600,000 over three days, and the Dodgers' title celebration last year drew about 250,000.

Spectrum News talked to fans along the route who remembered the 1982 Brewers, the last Milwaukee team to reach the World Series, 44 years ago. One said her seats for a game that year cost $18.
