"Hilary said that there must have been more than 5,000 people at the stadium."
Reasons: avoid the mathematical symbol ">" in running prose, don't hyphenate "five-thousand" here, and using numerals with a comma for thousands is the standard, clear form. (Spelling out "five thousand" can be acceptable under some style guides, but the second sentence is the most broadly correct.)
