I've seen it repeatedly busy at that time -- to the point where I've had to ask clueless guests to remove their stuff from other chairs so I could sit -- but I've never seen a "full house."
Yesterday might have been anomalous -- I think there was weather in the area which, although it did not directly affect BWI, might have had spillover effects and delayed a bunch of flights? I thought I vaguely overhead people complaning about delayed flights but did not scrutinize the departure board. My flight left the gate on time, though we did sit in the penalty box for ~15 minutes.
It is such a tiny space however that it doesn't take much of an event like that type, to cause it to fill up.
