The Conference Center, which opened in 2000, seats approximately 21,000 people and usually fills to capacity for each of the five sessions.

199,500 saw the 1950 World Cup where Brazil lost to Uruguay, 1-2 at the Maracana Stadium in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. So what's your point?
Re: Blue Bolshevik Salt Lake City, UT
You're trying to compare a world cup soccer game 60 years ago to a religious conference? A better question would be what other events drawing that many people to an event in Utah?
