SBC Park holds like 45,000 or something and really only sells out on opening day or for the playoffs. It's pretty much the same for all baseball stadiums including Camden Yards, the only ones that sell out every game are Wrigley Field for the Cubs and Jacobs Field for the Indians and I dunno any more.

The Rose Bowl is like 100K. The actual Rose Bowl game is the only game played there and it is completely sold out.

Fenway park has sold out for a couple of years.

I'm pretty sure of at least 4 that are over 100K, Michigan, Tennessee, Penn State & Ohio State, there may be a few more and I know there are a bunch of 80K's. I think Michigan or Penn state holds the most, but I'm not positive on that and yeah the college stadiums typically sell out.

UCLA's Rose Bowl can host a little over 100,000 people. Neyland Stadium @ The University of Tennessee holds almost 105,000 people. Penn State University's Beaver Stadium can hold over 106,000 fans. Now with the recent additions, Ohio Stadium @ Ohio State holds around 101,000.

I believe the biggest in all of NCAA is the "Big House" Michigan Stadium @ The University of Michigan, which now can hold nearly 110,000 people every saturday during the season.

Those are the 5 biggest stadiums in the country.

Kyle Field @ Texas A&M will join the 100K list in 2008, when changes to their stadium will allow them to host over 103,000 people.

So, I was right (yeah, I said 4 and missed the 5th ucla, should have known that since when I lived in LA my roomate and a bunch of friends were all UCLA grads).

I've been outside of Michigans stadium a few times on business, it's huge, but you don't notice it as much because of how far down they went, I'd guess close to 1/2 is actually under ground.
