According to the Milwaukee Police Department, it's estimated that more than 750,000 people attended either the parade along the city's streets or the rally at Henry Maier Festival Park. That's nearly one-and-a-half times the population of Milwaukee itself and nearly 13% of the population of the entire state of Wisconsin.

Last year's World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, drew around 250,000 fans to their celebration. Los Angeles' population is roughly 6.7 times that of Milwaukee.
