Super Bowls generally attract capacity crowds. 80k is probably all the stadium can hold. Hundreds of millions more watch on TV. That's not to say 100k isn't fucking awesome, but comparing it to Super Bowl numbers may be getting a bit ahead of yourself. | ||

In Japan they have huge stadiums and super domes. I'm sure Korea has some that are just as large. I don't want to throw out a random number but it may have been 150,000. I am not sure. | ||

Or even see the crowd cheer could affect their game play they DEFINITELY can't hear the commentators (wtf?) and they're not supposed to be able to hear the crowd either (headphones and sometimes protected in little boxes) but there have been accusations of "ear hacks" lol | ||

Or even see the crowd cheer could affect their game play I'm not sure about now but there have been occasions where a player has heard the crowd and used it to his advantage. Many people probably recall the time Boxer pulled his units away from stop lurkers because the fans were screaming. Because of incidents like that they probably try to prevent it hence the playing booth (in huge games) and thick headphones. I'm not sure if the thick headphones can block everything out but. | ||

I've heard that before but it just seems way too big - that's more than a largue stadium's worth of people. But you're forgetting that SC does not need the whole playing field to be played, so there is even more space for viewers. The game that had 100k live viewers was some final maybe a year ago, can't remember exactly and probably it isn't very hard to google accurate info about it. | ||

There's a humming sound "produced" in the booths, Boxer once complained it was annoying him, so they are completely safe. The incindent was with a small crowd in some indoor place and they had to leave after it. | ||

but where i upload? have almost all starleagues finals.... the one..i think reach vs boxer, was the one that most impressed me i saw somewhere that had 30k people there. and 100k its possible, although i dont think would actually have that many people. superbowl = limited -> stadium = 80k, so max = 80k. starcraft = some outside area -> many many people.. =P | ||

iirc that stadium could only hold 20k. I think mensrea did a report on that one where 35k people showed up, but the stadium could only fit 20k people inside, so the rest were jipped! not positive though. | ||

Thanks for the info. there's no way in hell there are anywhere near 100k people in that picture, not even half that. look at it ffs, compare it to a stadium gig at a stadium where everyone is standing so there's 2x the number of ppl on the flat than there are in this pic, AND they have 3/4 of the seats in the stadium with ppl sitting on them. 100k is utter BS and you're stupid to look at that picture and suspect there's even half that. it's not even in a fucking stadium! Yea I don't imagine it's 100k people but also, it's not like that picture shows everyone, obviously it cuts off.. | ||

If someone has something especially concerning tournament attendance exceeding that of the Superbowl's (which I've frequently heard), it would be great. Please post reliable sources only (websites with staff writers, or similar articles) please. | ||

But if you count everyone on the sides (i.e. near the beach on the top, and all those people in the far back from the stage) then yes I think it is about 130,000 people. | ||
