Why it surfaced

Downtown Crowd audits convention bookings through May 2027, reducing 429 discoveries to 395 event records and scoring them for visitor mass, downtown proximity, after-hours spillover, and no-badge access. It also offers a sortable evidence board and a dating-app-style swipe mode for deciding which crowds are worth following.
