In a little less than 100 days, the Braves and Reds will play a game in the eighth-largest sports venue in the world. By comparison, the largest stadium in Major League Baseball, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, holds around 56,000 fans.
According to the Baseball Hall of Fame, the largest crowd to ever see a Major League Baseball game was 115,300 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on March 29, 2008. However, that was an exhibition game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox. The largest attendance at a regular season MLB game was 86,563 when the Cleveland Indians played host to the New York Yankees at Municipal Stadium on Sept. 12, 1954.
Will the Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway set a new record? It certainly hopes so.
