Bonnaroo Has the Most Elbow Room of All Festivals

So, I am reading a study by Obfessed and they decided to figure out which festival has the most elbow room aka the most room for each individual. What they did is take the square feet of the area that the festival and divide it by the average attendance per day. What they found out wasn’t too shocking, but interesting. Essentially, Bonnaroo has the most room because they have a 700 acre farm to work with. Festivals in the city are more packed. Here is their data:
