In the scene at the skating rink, it's pretty obvious that they couldn't afford enough extras to completely fill the stands. If you look closely (freeze-frame may be necessary) you can see that some of the seats are filled with cardboard cutouts of spectators. It's most noticable before the girl comes out to skate.
Yeah, that's a bit pathetic considering the large expenses involved in shooting this movie

Yeah, you'd think that with the convoy of cars and big name actors, they could've managed to fill an ice rink with spectators!!

On the DVD the director John Frankenheimer talks about how expensive this scene was with over two thousand extras. He didn't mention that so many of them were cardboard.
