You say they say 20,000?

Trump's advance team considered the airport as an alternative site to accommodate a change to the president's travel schedule, said Steve Shine, the local GOP party chair.
But the airport option “was immediately nixed” Wednesday morning after the advance team learned that an available hangar could hold only a fraction of the 11,000 people expected at the Coliseum.
“It was a matter of trying to keep the campaign rolling across all the states, and when it appeared that it was just not going to work at the airport, it was kept at the Coliseum,” Shine said.
Randy Brown, the Coliseum's general manager, said he has learned from arranging political campaign events at the building that the scheduling is “fluid right up to the end.”
Doors for Trump's rally at the Coliseum for Republican candidates in Indiana will open to the public at 3:30 p.m., with the rally planned to begin at 6:30 p.m.
Brown said nearly 9,000 free tickets had been reserved through www.donaldjtrump.com as of 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Trump lies that there were 45,000 people stuck outside of his rally in Springfield, Missouri. Springfield's public information director, Cora Scott, told me there were "1,000 or so that were unable to get in, due to capacity issues."
