I read the original article on USA Today and I have to admit I'm not sure what the author meant by this. In the context of the compete article it just doesn't make sense. In general I would take it to mean that "slow crowd" is the opposite of "fast crowd" but that doesn't work here as for as I can see. I suppose he could be saying that the people he describes in the article constitute the "crowd"
