Bay FC breaks NWSL attendance record in Oracle Park sell-out
Bay FC set a new record attendance for an NWSL game, with a sold-out crowd of 40,091 watching its loss to the Washington Spirit at San Francisco's Oracle Park on Saturday.
The previous record was set when the Chicago Stars hosted Bay FC at Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs, when 35,038 attended in June 2024.
Bay FC regularly plays its home matches at PayPal Park in San Jose, averaging over 13,400 fans there per match, but switched Saturday's historic game to the home of the San Francisco Giants.
Former Giants left fielder and baseball's career home run leader Barry Bonds was at the game.
