Is this true? Do NASCAR attendances really exceed those of football
(soccer)?

I have no way to verify that -- it's just what the media has been


spouting.

I suppose it's not surprising, since a single race can have several


hundred

thousand "fans" in attendance.

The media out here in SoCal are claiming that the weekend's
attendance at the Fontana Raceway will exceed the count at three NFL
Super
Bowls.

According to:
http://netscape.nascar.com/2004/news...30/california/
"92,000 -- The announced grandstand seating capacity of California
Speedway. "

The actual count is 92,109 according to the Speedway officials, but
hey.....

Oh, I should also point out that is the number of seats in the
grandstands -- it does not include all the RVs parked around the infield.


A NASCAR race gets more than any ONE footbal game. But more spectators
than the NFL on any weekend? Not in a million years.


Let alone proper football, what you guys call soccer.
