My wrong, that'll be hard to beat I googled Rose Bowl. Wikipedia said 90 185 in the audience. Didn't know it is in Los Angeles. How many big arenas like that exists in the world?

Mexico won sensationally the men's final over Brazil, 2-1. Dramatical last minutes again. Having stars isn't enough, football is a TEAM sport
AFAIK, the attendance record for a Live sporting event took place in Rio de Janeiro at the 1950 WC final between hosts Brasil and Uruguay.
The famous"Maracana" stadium reportedly had 150,00 fans in attendance for that game.

Since then the Maracana has been renovated several times and it will be used for the next WC. The new capacity is estimated to be around 80,000.

The Rose Bowl, in Pasadena CA still has a 100,00 capacity as do several university stadiums in USA.
Univ. of Michigan and Penn State are two college stadiums that have huge 100,00 plus capacity.

The Women's Gold medal football match was sold out days before the event. If the new Wembley held more I am sure the seats would have been filled. As it is, having the Olympic attendance record is nice....and a healthy sign for the future of Women's football.
