My translation attempt:

I am wondering if maybe there is some Japanese usage of gallery that I am
missing?

Fake EDIT: [Judging from weblio I wonder if it might be sense
3:](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%82%AE%E3%83%A3%E3%83%A9%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC)

If that's the case, then I think my attempt 3 is on the right track but I am
not sure.

question
meaning loanwords
なんだこの「ギャラリー」？ What does he mean by gallery?
It seems I may be right that in this case ギャラリー多いな means a lot of people
gathered to watch, since sense 3 of ギャラリー according to Weblio is ゴルフ・テニスなどの観客
"spectators for golf, tennis and so on" as I said above. Since this is about a
gathering at a go tournament, this interpretation seems to make the most
sense.
