The old wembley in the 1923 Fa cup final was thought to have had between 240,00 people and 300,000 people.
It is said to be the biggest attendance biggest ever ‘non-racing’ attendance in sport ever.

This article is very strange and slipshod. I guess he’s trying to create a context where stadiums were american football “friendly”(?), but the language used does do justice to the actual history of these places at all. The connotation of the article makes the author appear very ignorant.

We have the stadium hitler built on the list; we have a picture of the new wembley just recently completed with a subtitle stating NFL Europa games were played there in the 90’s… and then we have a picture of a stadium in scotland that appears to be under construction with half it’s stands missing?

The content here is awesome, lol

Haha, see everyone missed the point about this being every-game capacities, not “one-time it held…” claims.

American football is bigger than soccer, get over it.

Poorly written piece, I’m afraid. You seem to imply at many points that these stadia were built with football foremost in mind, when Scottish rugby considers Murrayfield as its spiritual home and the other three European ones are big soccer venues — Wembley, in fact, is considered the cathedral of soccer.

“It [Olympiastadion Berlin] remains open today as the host to several different annual events”

And 20+ games a season for the city’s soccer team, maybe?

“The following are all American stadiums…”

Really now.

What about “Estadio Azteca” in Mexico City, it host a 2005 NFL match between 49ers and Cardinals in regular season and had hosted the American Bowl many times. It’s capacity overpasses the 100k people, it should be at the top of the list.

You left off Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro Brazil which is larger than any of the ones you mentioned here. In 2007 it was reduced to 95,000 all seated capacity from the prior highest attendance of 210,000 for the 1950 game between Brazil and Uruguay.
