I would say yes. Any number more than 10 is a crowd. Does anyone have patience to listen to more people in a standup meeting. How much one be able to digest ?
Scrum canon states that Team size should be seven plus or minus two. This fits well with my experience. When a team gets too large, it will tend to self-organize into sub-teams.

If you ask Ken Schwaber, he'll start listing different specialties like "Well, you need a couple of programmers, a couple of testers, a UI designer, a database admin, [...] and there's already 7 people for your team."
I am not sure how much others would have patience to listen to if it is a group of 25 people. Certainly not me.Will they find a room big enough for 20+ ? A playground maybe
