Was attendance 167,385 or 167,384? Was Sunday's unique attendance (hadn't previously attended that weekend) 20,654 or 20,653? Not useful or reliable. Especially since we don't know if that person in doubt is a Texas resident or not.

He was clearly not talking about small discrepancies like those. He was talking about tens of thousands.
It's interesting that the 2012 announced Sunday attendance was about 117K and COTA said 66K of those came from out of state. In 2013 they announced a reduced attendance of about 113K and said about 77K of those came from out of state.
