they say Nascar has the most live spectators of any sport in the US and it has the second most TV viewers behind the NFL.
Also Michigan Stadium (per their website) holds 107,501 people. That is impressive, but it is about 61,000 shy of the 168,000 that Dayton can hold. |
Yeah, but there is only one race a week...there are hundreds of college football games, and there are a good 50 or stadiums that hold over 50k, not even including:
Notre Dame
Nebraska
Ohio State
Wisconsin
USC
Michigan State
Va Tech
Just add the spectators of those stadiums alone, and the TV viewing audience, and I haven't even tapped into The SEC, The Big East, and 10 other divisions, and then there are "little" schools like Western Michigan, and such that hold 20-30 thousand every game.
There is no way, one Nascar race a week beats just the schools I've named in spectators, both live and on TV.
As a whole, college football has more spectators than Nascar, and every other sport, there are just too many teams, and big stadiums.
