Domestic professional leagues

Domestic knock-out cup competitions

This section list attendances at domestic knock-out cup competitions in order of average attendance. It is very incomplete. In particular, there is a professional football (soccer) cup competition in most countries, and some countries have two.

1 Due to varying figures of 45,000 and 51,300 being given for the two games of the first-round doubleheader, an average figure of 48,150 was used for calculation.

College, semi-professional and amateur leagues

View of the crowd at the 2004 Rose Bowl College Football Game

This section lists college and amateur leagues by total attendance. Most remaining amateurism requirements in top level sport were dropped in the late 20th century, and there are now few if any amateur leagues which are of interest to a wide public outside of the United States, where college sports are very popular and at least one significant ice hockey league retains an amateur requirement.

The NCAA championships listed here are all comprised of several separate conferences with varying attendance levels. For example, in American football, 2006 per-game home attendances for the highest level of competition, Division I FBS, ranged from 17,097 for Sun Belt Conference teams to 75,706 for Southeastern Conference teams.[1]

1 The three component leagues of the Canadian Hockey League (the OHL, WHL, and QMJHL) are amateur leagues that draft players from minor hockey, and whose players are in turn drafted by the NHL. Players are allowed to move back and forth between the NHL and the CHL, as well as to European professional leagues and US and Canadian college leagues. The minimum age to play in the NHL is 18 while the age range in the CHL is 15 – 21. This prevents older professionals from invading the CHL. Players are paid a stipend but not a regular salary in the mold of the Collective Bargaining Agreements of other leagues. Teams are for-profit companies.

International club competitions

This section lists the attendances at international competitions between sports clubs. These are usually organised on a continental basis. The teams which compete in these tournaments also compete in the domestic competitions in their home countries.

  • 1The Ashes is Test Cricket, which, unlike all other sports listed here (including the Cricket World Cup), is contested over more than one day (a maximum of 5 days for each match). Therefore it should be noted that these average attendance figures are not indicative of a single day's attendance. The five matches of the 2006-07 Ashes were contested over a total of 22 days, therefore the average attendance for a single day would be 36,969.
  • 2Although 32 games were played in the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup, tickets were sold only for 20 matchdays. A total of 24 matches were scheduled as doubleheaders—18 during pool play, all four quarterfinals, and both semifinals. However, FIFA took attendance separately for each individual match, and the calculation here reflects this practice.
  • 3World Baseball Classic and World Cup of Hockey are hosted in different regions of the world to boost attendance; as opposed to being hosted in one region like other international tournaments.
  • 4The number of games and the average attendance excludes the two cancelled matches during the tournament (Zimbabwe vs England and Kenya vs New Zealand).

Domestic club championship events

This section lists the most recent attendances at annual championship events (single decider matches) by total attendance, and includes domestic leagues and competitions.

Miscellaneous

This section lists attendances which do not fit into any of the sections above.

Baseball

  • NCAA Division I College World Series: The 2005 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska had a total attendance of 263,475 in 11 sessions, for an average of 23,952.[31]
    • NB: The NCAA sells tickets for "sessions" rather than individual games. Some sessions are single games, even when two games are scheduled for the same day, while others are doubleheaders allowing one ticket holder to view both games that day.
  • NCAA Division I Baseball: Mississippi State University holds the single game regular season on-campus attendance record at 14,991. They also hold the NCAA's top 2 all-time largest Super Regional attendance record of 12,620 and 13,715 versus Clemson in 2007. Mississippi State has all of the top 13 and 18 of the top 20 on-campus crowds in the history of college baseball.

Basketball

  • NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship: The 2007 tournament had a total attendance of 696,992 in 35 sessions, for an average of 19,914.[2]
  • NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship: The 2007 tournament had a total attendance of 199,932 in 34 sessions, for an average of 5,880.[4]
    • NB: For both basketball tournaments, the NCAA sells tickets for "sessions" rather than individual games. The "play-in" game of the men's tournament, the four regional finals of both tournaments, and both national championship games are single-game sessions; all other games in both tournaments are part of a doubleheader at a specific site.
  • NCAA Men's Division I Basketball: The University of Kentucky has won 9 of the past 10 Men's Basketball Attendance titles. The most recent in 2006, saw Kentucky pull in an average of 22,763 fans per contest. Second place went to Syracuse University with an average of 21,587. [32]

Boxing

Commonwealth Games

Cricket

Cycling

  • Tour de France (France and neighbouring countries) the organisers claim 15 million spectators every year [34], with the Guinness Book of Records claiming a more modest 10 million [35]. This is the highest total for any single sporting event; it should be pointed out, however, that attendance is entirely free and not closely monitored.

Gaelic Games

Golf

  • PGA Tour: 2004 attendance was over 10 million. [37]
  • PGA Tour's FBR Open: drew 536,767 spectators in 2006, [38] more than any other golf tournament in the world. [39]. This is a routine PGA Tour event which is played on a course which can accommodate exceptionally large crowds. Attendances at most events, including the major championships, are capped well below this level.
  • U.S. Women's Open attendance in 2005 was 131,298. [40]
  • The 2006 Open Championship attracted 230,000 spectators.[19]

Horseracing

  • Japan Racing Association: in 2004 8,099,985 racegoers attended meetings in Japan. [41] Attendances at JRA meetings have fallen every year since 1996, when they were 14,116,684. These numbers do not include the many "local racing" meetings in Japan.
  • British horse racing: in 2005 5,896,922 racegoers attended the 1,300 meetings held in the United Kingdom, an average of 4,536. [42].
  • Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival: a total of 730,110 in 2005 includes the major events e.g., Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup (93,825 in 2005) and Cox Plate (44,189 in 2005) [43] held in Melbourne, Australia
  • Kentucky Derby: 2006 event in the United States attracted a total of 157,536. The second largest attendance figure in the history of the race.[20]
  • Hong Kong Jockey Club: During the 2005/06 race year ending on June 30, of the 78 race meetings held over two courses in Hong Kong, 1,890,000 racegoers attended races meetings.[21][22]
  • Horse racing in Ireland: 1,447,245 racegoers attended over 319 meetings in 2006, with the largest single meeting is the Festival in Punchestown, achieving a record 85,000 racegoers, up 10% on 2005.[23]

Mixed Martial Arts

Motor racing

Motorsport

Motorcycle sport

  • Suzuka 8 Hours: The motorcycle endurance race held in Suzuka attracted 70,000 spectators, this is considered to be less than the record in 1990, when 160,000 spectators attended on race day. As with modern seating facilities demanded on F1 circuits, Suzuka can no longer be able to break this record.[47]
  • Bol d'or,: The motorcycle endurance race held in Paul Ricard until 1999, now currently held in Magny Cours attracted 53,000 spectators in 2005, less than the previous year's figure.[48]
  • Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix: 241,975 attended the 2006 race held in Jerez over 3 days, with a raceday total of 131,162, setting a new record for a Moto GP event.[49]

  • Supercross: The 2002 AMA World Finals at Sam Boyd Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada sold out taking in a claimed 65,000 spectators, despite its capacity of 40,000.[51]
