Sanders Campaign Claims Record-Breaking Crowd at New York Rally

"In case you haven't noticed, there are a lot of people here this afternoon!" Sanders told the crowd

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders drew a record-breaking crowd to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Sunday, NBC News reported.

More than 28,300 people attended a rally, according to the campaign and a production company that helped plan the event.

"In case you haven't noticed, there are a lot of people here this afternoon!" Sanders bellowed to cheers as he took the stage after actor Danny DeVito glowingly introduced him. 

Sanders has drawn big crowds during his campaign, with 28,000 people at his Portland, Oregon, rally in August and 18,000 people in South Bronx in March. 

Another large crowd is expected in Long Island City on Monday, the night before the all-important New York primary.
