Anyone have stats on the largest soccer attendence's in US history (men or women)? Was it WC94 Final? In the same stadium in the 84 Olympic finals the attendence was a record at the time at : 101,799 . I would imgine that would be pretty close to the top still.
Somebody had posted that actual figures. The Rose Bowl holds the record for all games in the US. The top were all during the Summer Olympics on 1984. Seating got reduce by about 5000 pre WC94, so those games were down just as much. I believe it was said that the largest US National team game crowd was US v. Romania WC94.
I'm assuming you mean home game, because it would seem to me that games at Mexico's Estadio Azteca would draw more.
Grrr, my most content-filled post deleted by hacker-terrorists. From memory, a recap: the top three were from the '84 Olympics in LA, the final between France and Brazil being the highest ever. The '94 WC matches at the Rose Bowl had low to mid 90K. There were a couple of friendlies against Mexico in 1994 and 1996 that figure in the top ten. All took place at the Rose Bowl. The record will not soon be broken because its capacity was reduced to accommodate press rooms and box seats.
If you get the press guide from the USSF you will get all the info and lots of lists of attendence figures for women and men, the cups and everything since time began. I have it and it's a great resource.
Nice one FYI, the most attended women's game in history was the '99 WWC final in Pasadena, USA vs China at 90,185. Before the WWC, it was USA vs China at the 1996 Olympics, 76,489 in Athens, Ga. http://www.soccertimes.com/worldcup/1999/jul11.htm
