Highest Stadium Attendance Record in Every Sport

[@JackRabbit-us9uk]

The Indianapolis 500 is NOT a NASCAR event.

[@CuriousRat3]

Yeah no it's indycar

[@jackgrimm9207]

Both at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway: Nascar has the Brickyard 400 (currently a defunct event), had their largest attendance in 1994 at the inaugural event- 450,000+ IndyCar has the Indianapolis 500, it’s the world’s largest single day sporting event, and has been every year since the 1940s,(excluding 2020), 450,000+ every year! Some attendances have topped 500,000 back in the 1970s (ABC television giving estimates as high at 750,000+)

[@williammerrell2196]

Exactly…love the videos but that’s a rough one. And IMS does not announce attendance that’s why it’s hard to find numbers.

[@bigkahunaburger5185]

Yeah, he screwed that one up, but this is an interesting video. I assume the highest attended tennis match was at Arthur Ashe Stadium in NY?

[@Otownbassin]

@@bigkahunaburger5185 he consistently makes errors in his videos like this though. He’s more about quantity and not quality when it comes to video production.

[@charliecarroll33]

In order to expand capacity at AT&T Stadium from 80,000 to 100,000+ they actually move a lot of the seats closer together. The seats there are fastened to rails and can be moved closer together for certain events, which means they can add about 2 seats to each row.

[@troydoesthings]

Wow, i never knew that, here i was wondrring how they shoved 20k seats into the standing space area lol

[@CuriousRat3]

The largest attendance for a nascar race was the 1994 Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis motor speedway The attendance was 350,000

[@danielalvaradoa.7691]

132,000 (Posibly 136K) people in a box fight between Julio Cesar Chavez vs Greg Haugen in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City is also impresive.

[@NoName-rq6bg]

Thats crazy, but i wonder if the people at the top could even recognize who was who😅

The NHL did go to Dallas for a Winter Classic. It was at the Cotton Bowl. It was Stars vs Predators.

[@1013AP]

Correction from a NASCAR Fan: The Indy 500 is not a NASCAR race, its a Indycar race.

[@cjmsacomments4389]

Hey 1013, long time no see, also yes

[@MrBootydaddy]

When I heard him say that I had to do a double take lol.

[@scottyleitch3214]

I like your style - no intense intro, no dated ass "hey what's up guys!?!?" just straight into stadium facts lol oh and also I really don't need to be told "have a great rest of your day!" anymore. keep the content coming my friend.

[@Lcngopher]

The battle at bristol took the record from michigan stadium, which was set in a game between michigan and notre dame

[@Jimbodisfan]

The 1950 World Cup final was held at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Its capacity at the time was around 183,000. It still stands and has undergone several renovations, with a capacity of about 80,000.

[@filipek6401]

It is so cool to watch the Indy500 and the insane attendance every year

[@philipgregorymaingot7722]

The Dodgers-Red Sox game wasn't "random". It was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Dodgers moving to LA. The Dodgers and White Sox played the 1959 World Series at the Coliseum, which I presume is still the WS attendance record.

[@johnpalochak3964]

Depressed Ginger: NCAA Basketball regular season highest attendance I believe was at the Astrodome when Houston beat UCLA. Elvin Hayes played for the Cougars and Alcindor/Abdul Jabbar for the Bruins.

[@Ramsfan1993]

It was actually Michigan State vs Kentucky 2003

[@Ramsfan1993]

He's referring to just home games though, so he's right. Astrodome game between UCLA and Houston is probably up there... And that's a top 3 most important college basketball game of all time Houston vs UCLA is

[@_OP02]

There are other sports in the world with high attendances, not just America

[@CuriousRat3]

The indy 500 is actually indycar not nascar

[@steven.events]

Rugby, Tennis, Curling, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Figure Skating, Volleyball...

[@monexpo86]

Indy 500 isnt NASCAR

[@terryfronk9507]

TPC Scottsdale has stadium seating around hole 16 which has a capacity of 50k alone

[@StevenBrown-vb3oe]

the L A coliseum was the Dodgers home stadium when they moved from Brooklyn and while Dodger stadium was being built. they played there in 2008 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary since moving to L A

[@zenokada2278]

The highest sporting event attended ever was in Ancient Rome at the circus maximus for an enclosed stadium it’s about 250,000 to 300,000

[@Ramsfan1993]

Wait you thought 115k people showed up for a celebrity softball gane or were you referring to the field configuration? Lol

[@vaghelakeyur1310]

Not cricket? Bruh you guys are jealousing from it i gusse because its having 2.7 billion fans 😂

[@nosajnumber1]

F1 in Austin this past year had 440,000 people in attendance. Im a big Wrestling Fan, WCW held a show in North Korea that had 180,000 (forced people) in attendance.

[@marklittle8805]

That number for F1 in Austin is for the weekend. One day it is about 150000

[@danielgonneville1432]

The cricket stadium photo is clearly a soccer game… all those people wouldn’t be on the field

[@youtubeaccount6539]

Indy 500 is so cool.

[@professionalidiot07]

the indy 500 isn’t nascar

[@hackercop188]

4:52 omg the Rams played there when they moved to LA before SoFi was made haha what a crazy coincidence

[@philipgregorymaingot7722]

They also played there from the 40s-1979.

[@Otownbassin]

No shit there were more fans at the NBA all-star game. The fans are literally sitting on top of the fucking field because a basketball court is smaller than a football field.

[@neohiowx07]

The indy 500 is an IndyCar event, not NASCAR

[@kamelkadri2843]

What about Rugby League & Union, League had around 150k back in the 50s, not sure about union but I think NZ vs Australia in 2000 or 1999

[@timon9385]

why dont they expand the capacity of AT&T and other stadiums more often. I mean they didnt even do it for the SBn

[@davidboniface858]

They sell 80,000 first. As tickets sell, they add as they go

[@marklittle8805]

The NHL game was a hit because it was Toronto and Detroit. Toronto fans are only 5 hours drive away. That demand made it a sell out instantly since I know many Leaf fans mad they couldn't get tickets. Michigan stadium could have had an upper deck and they could have sold it out still....

[@henrymuzgay1023]

you have the UCLA Cala Seamon

[@drewski2361]

If you include WWE or any wrestling event, Wrestle Mania got over 120K in the AT&T Stadium !

[@jamiejustice8568]

I think it would be cool for you to look at some minor league baseball stadiums

One thing I will say about that, getting rights clearance for some sports in other countries could be more difficult.

Houston vs UCLA at The Astrodome in 1968 was the most attended regular season NCAA Basketball game at 52,693. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_the_Century_(college_basketball)

[@jimbellenger1927]

The college basketball record is not 35,000 at Syracuse. Houston with Elvin Hayes played UCLA with Lew Alcindor in the Astrodome in 1968 before 52,000 people en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_the_Century_(college_basketball)
