When we get a significant celebrity in Kansas City, they land at the downtown airport (MKC). I've driven by there and seen fans gathered there along a fence, 50 yards or so from where the jets park, when someone especially "big" is flying in for a concert or whatever.

All the time. It might be F but for B list and down, it's usually commercial. I guess "crowd" is relative...10-20 people airside trying to get autographs, etc. can seem like a lot.
