BNS capacity
back when football in bangladesh was worth making the trecherous journey to dhaka stadium (as it was known then), we all swore that 100,000 would show up to watch tension filled abahani - mohammedan matches. Sure felt like it, and we based this on the experential evidence gained from attending political rallies where "lakh lakh lok" (hundreds of thousands) would regularly show up, thus providing the only yardstick by which to measure the capacity of the stadium!
I've heard the official capacity of BNS is 40,000, though. The number has to be an estimate as the bulk of the stadium is not fixed seating as sham described in his mail.
