It’s confirmed that the Mall will be open to the public on Inauguration Day:
The Presidential Inaugural Commission announced today that the entire national mall, from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, will be open to the public on Inauguration Day. Large screens will be set up along the Mall to allow to allow those in attendance to see and hear the event.

With the mall open, there might just be room enough to accommodate everyone, but it will be tight. According to CNN, if 5 million people show up, each person would have about one square foot of ground to stand on. If you’re planning on coming to Washington for the big day, be prepared to get cozy with your neighbors!
Should be intertesting.

And I, for one, will be there.

Please keep in mind the people expecting five million people to come out for the inauguration were also the same people predicting 90% turnout on election day.
