The International Champion’s Cup Sets Unbreakable Attendance Record at 93,098.
With 93,098 tickets purchased for last night’s international soccer match between Manchester City and Real Madrid FC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, not only was it the largest crowd to witness a soccer match in the 94-year history of the stadium, it establishes a record that may never be broken. January 2018, the Coliseum is scheduled to undergo a $270M renovation which will ultimately reduce capacity to approximately 78,500. Manchester City defeated Real Madrid with a final score of 4-1.
The previous attendance record for a Coliseum soccer match was 92,650 for the August 6, 2006, doubleheader featuring Chivas de Guadalajara vs. FC Barcelona and Chivas USA vs. New England Revolution.
