More people attended the weekend's East-West Shrine Game than originally thought.

The attendance number announced at the game was 4,954; however, Ryan Jonart of the Shrine Game Board says the attendance number announced at the game of 4,954 is incorrect. He says the official attendance number is actually much higher, coming in at 5,562, a big increase from what they originally thought attended.

Jonart also said the event raised close to $70,000. But expenditures have not been factored in yet, so there is no word yet on how much of that will go to the Shriners Hospital in Spokane.

Final numbers will be released later this week.
