Stadiums have been around a long time, but what exactly is the world's largest? The answer is surprisingly more complex than you think.

What you didn't mention is the Rungrado May Day Stadium also hosts the Arirang Mass Games. Which has the Guinness World Record for the world's largest gymnastics display, and famous for its perfectly synchronized card stunt choreography of course, India had to burst our bubble by expanding one of their stadiums. But we'll get our revenge soon enough

For IMS it is worth noting that the infield has NO set number for how many people can be there and the fact that for the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, the local tv blackout was finally lifted. All this despite a set number dictating what a sell out is at IMS. Pre-Race attendance numbers are mostly based on permanent seats sold. It’s actually an interesting story and I highly suggest anyone to dive deeper and read/hear more about it.

in some ways I like how the classic style inner city baseball stadium trended smaller rather than bigger. It was great to see the revival stadiums replace the multi use monsters because the smaller ones we have today combine the closeness to the field of the ones like Fenway without staring at a pillar. Which gets to the topic of the challenge of size in a stadium, If you need to smuggle a telescope into the game to see the field, Is the stadium really worth having that big.

@@mikejones3rfs Absolutely brilliant comment. I'm old enough to remember old shaefer stadium in foxboro watching the patriots with my father. Our seats were maybe 5 - six rows from the top. Saw everything fine. Fast forward to that monstrosity Gilette. About 15-20 years ago i'm sitting in the upper bowl with a few friends 10-15 rows from the top, the players look like ants. No ability to discern if a first down was made on a close play etc. By the third quarter, I'm literally watching the game on the big screen in the end zone thinking, I could do this at home. I look down at my ticket stub $50 (lol back then, today?). I think to myself eff this. That was the last live major league sporting event I went to. It's all ownership greed. It's just cheaper to build the stadium without the big decks that are closer to the field but need fancy engineering. Ownership attitude is screw the good sight lines, the idiot fans will come anyway. We'll offer them all different kinds of overpriced fancy food options, have all kinds of lights flashing on and off, other distractions. They'll barely know they're at a game. They're too stupid to care.

I remember them expanding it like crazy when I was a kid in the 90s/2000s, but it's giving them problems now because the fanaticism for Nascar that could fill such a stadium has died down some and a lot of the races are only half full these days

I was wondering if you would mention Indianapolis Motor Speedway..... Being such a Stadium Historian and Connoisseur, if you have never been, you should definitely go... It is a sight to behold.... Bring your best walking shoes. There is A LOT of ground to cover, to see the things you want to see.... Even if you are not a racing fan... The narrowness of that front straight, that you see all the time on TV, is kind of amazing in person.... The banking of the turns... The TV cameras don't really do that justice, until you see it in person.... I've been there a few times, and had a lot of fun. A couple times, I was a guest of some VIP's, and we had skyboxes, and all of that.... Access to the garage area. It's all amazing. Definitely worth seeing. Even if you just go for Qualifying, which is more affordable, the experience is amazing..... To be honest, the most fun I ever had, was when we were there for Qualifying... Race day is kind of a zoo....

The circus Maximus didn’t burn to the ground in 37 AD, it was restored to a greater extent. It wasn’t completely destroyed until after the fall of the western empire. Judging by the size it inhabited, modern estimates place it’s seating capacity at around 250,000, making it the largest stadium by capacity in history.

My issue with lumping race tracks together with those other stadiums is an unfair advantage in size. Outside that weird Czech one all those modern (post medieval ages) ones enclose on singular field or pitch, while a race track is a piece of road of up several kilometers long for track that can host the F1. No association football/rugby/American football, cricket, baseball, etc. field or pitch comes close to that surface. Being close to the action is the major reason for those constructions and well, with a racetrack more chances to be that. No surprise either that the ancient stadium with the highest capacity is essentially a race track as well.

Landsdowne is in Dublin Ireland. It was knocked and rebuilt as the Aviva Stadium. I was at one of the last ever games there. Ireland v France around 2005 period. I'm actually a bit insulted you said it was in the UK

Unlikely the Circus Maximus had 300,000, in all likelihood had about 150,000. Pliny's estimate of 250,000 is considered to be probably exaggerated/ too high even.

You need to look up the Deutsches Stadion it was an Stadium in the process of being built during Adolf Hitler’s reign in Germany. It was designed to hold 405,000 and would by far be the largest stadium to date!

I've been to the ancient one in Athens Greece they fixed up for the Olympics. They only held two events there, the finish of the men's and women's marathons. Its fallen into disrepair since the 2004 Olympics ended. Its oval shape with the tight turns makes it impractical to use for running track events or anything else.

So in my opinion, and I am speaking as someone who has actually competed on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I think Race Tracks, at least most Race Tracks should be excluded from lists like this. You go to a Football, Basketball, Soccer, etc. Game in a Stadium / Arena weather close or far, you can see the whole playing field, Race Tracks aren’t covering Yards, they’re covering Miles. You can’t compare an enclosed AT&T Stadium that can sit 100,000 to watch a game that plays on a 100 Yard Field to LeMans that has a capacity of around 250,000 but is spread out around almost 9 miles. I think when we are talking Arenas or Stadiums, the criteria of enclosed fully around the area of play is a requirement. Bristol fits that criteria.

My guess for why stadiums were made so rediculously huge long ago is because people didn't have televisions to watch, so you had to sit somewhere in the stadium even if the seats were bad, or you just didn't watch. With modern technology, if you're stuck in bad nosebleeds, its not worth it to go becaus you get a better view watching on a screen at home. Stadiums now are only built up to the point that the experience equals TV because they want to be able to sell tickets to justify the building expenses.

Clickbait vid… you didn’t mention stadiums (only with seats, NO standing places!!) which are larger then the biggest stadiums you mentioned. For example was not mentioned Maracana (Rio de Janeiro WC 1950 final Brazil-Uruguay with 249.000 attendances (with standing places - now 110.000 only seats), Camp Nou (115.000), Santiago Bernabeu (100.000), Celtic Park (130.000 attendance EC1 final with standing places - now 70.000 only seats), Signal Iduna Park Dortmund (130.000 with standing places - now 88.000 only seats), Wembley Arena London (90.000) and thé biggest stadium with only seats is in North Korea (forget the name), there is place for 165.000 people (all seated!).
