I can't imagine 134,000... from half a mile away I'm sure it was like watching ants doing the salsa

eh, I wouldn't say that, they pack in just over 110,000 every year to watch Michigan and Ohio St. on the ole gridirion, so the possibility IS there should Americans decide it's time to start loving boxing again...

yeah man, I went to one a few years ago... it's deafening... I went to the University of Georgia and our capacity was almost 93,000... the sound in that stadium was also unbelievable... it's really amazing when that many people get together to rock it out

I think you'll find old timers like Jack Johnson drew some pretty mega crowds, can't remember figures but way way over 60 thousand.
Did any of you guys see the documentary that came out a year or so ago Unforgiveable Blackness ?
