The Los Angeles Dodgers drew an announced attendance of 52,078 for Reopening Day at Dodger Stadium, which ended with a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Per the team, it was the largest crowd to watch a professional sports league game in the United States since the start of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic last year.
The record attendance does not take into account singular events such as the boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders fight at AT&T Stadium on May 8, which had 73,126 in attendance.
The Indy 500 at the end of May drew a crowd of 135,000, and the soccer match last weekend between Mexico and Honduras was a sold-out match with an announced attendance of 70,072 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
