It was crowded. The center area - tables and chairs - takes up a lot of room. If it just had chairs, it could double the number of people in the center area. The sides and back area are packed with people sitting in portable chairs. Unlike the Squares, however, the sides are very limited. You have McGrady's to the right and Sawgrass Market on the left which restrict the area for chairs. Also, you can't park on the street with a golf car and watch and hear the music like you can at the other three venues. If you count the street parking and the sidewalks in the Squares, I think that the squares would hold at least 2 to 3 times as many people as Sawgrass can hold. So Sawgrass should always be crowded.
