More than 100,000 watch 49ers shock Rams in Melbourne
San Francisco 49ers record dominant 27-7 victory over Super Bowl favourites Los Angeles Rams in front of a crowd of more than 100,000 at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
A staggering 100,021 fans attended the NFL Melbourne match between the LA Rams and San Francisco 49ers, making it the seventh-most attended regular season game of all time. The record-breaking attendance only falls 5,000 short of the attendance set at Cowboys Stadium in 2009. This monumental crowd filled the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), leaving some lower-level spectators disappointed with their view of the pitch, which was oddly placed in the center of the oval-shaped ground.
Despite the high ticket prices for lower-level seats, many fans expressed dissatisfaction with the limited field view.
