Highest attendance in any sport

Answer 1

it was in 1984 in Summer Olyimpic games in Los Angeles, the number of tickets sold was more than 5 million covering all games and days, the number dropped in London Summer games to approx 2 million.

The highest attendance in Olympics is higher than the highest attendance in FIFA world cup, which is 3.5 million in 1994 FIFA wold cup tournament in the US.

All statistics are based on sold tickets, meaning that same individuals may buy more than a ticket in the tournment and games, i.e.: repeated counting of people.

The number of people attended Islamic Hajj "pilgrimage" in 2012 is 3.1 million.

The islamic pilgrimage is set in 5 days, practicing a lot of walking from district to another, walking around the "Kaaba" 7 times "twice in different days", walking 7 round back and forth in a 400 lane "twice in different days", and climbing a mounting in one of the districts for those who want to.

It's an Islamic olympic event, but it's not a game, it's a worship to the one God, and not to zeus like in the Greek Olymipic games.

The Indianapolis 500 gathers an estimated crowd of 400,000 people. But the Indianapolis Speedway only seats 250,000...but even with that number it is still the largest stadium in the world. The Tour de France is not a fair event because it spans over 2 days. And no soccer stadium can hold 400,000 fans. Even the newly created Bird's Nest in Beijing, China only seats 91,000 (80,000 after the Olympic Games).
