The Major League Baseball (MLB) will challenge the record for the most spectators in a game ever.
MLB will host the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds on August 3 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee, which can accommodate more than 150,000 spectators.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred introduced the game at the CAA World Sports Competition in Nashville, Tennessee, on the 23rd and said, "We expect a huge crowd," adding, "This game is an opportunity for a large crowd to enjoy together."
Bristol Motor Speedway boasts a massive scale as the racing track of the NASCAR, an American auto racing competition. However, it is not the first time that other sports events are held in this stadium.
In 2016, the NCAA football match between Tennessee University and Virginia Tech was held, attracting a record 156,990 spectators.
MLB also expects to surpass the record number of spectators in a single game. The largest number of spectators in a single game in MLB history was 115,300 at an exhibition game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox in 2008.
At the time, the Dodgers played twice at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, which was used as the venue for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to mark the 50th anniversary of their relocation, and succeeded by attracting more than 110,000 spectators. MLB is aiming to break a new record for the first time in 17 years.
Meanwhile, MLB is continuously pushing ahead with events held at special stadiums to attract fans from home and abroad. In 2021, a special event was held at a temporary ballpark built in the cornfield in Dyersville, Iowa, attracting the attention of fans all over the world. 메이저놀이터
