View of the crowd at the 2004 Rose Bowl College Football Game. This section lists college and amateur leagues by total attendance. Remaining amateurism requirements in most top-level sports were dropped in the late 20th century, and there are now few amateur leagues which are of interest to a wide public. In the United States, college sports are very popular and at least one significant ice hockey league retains an amateur requirement. In Ireland, the All-Ireland senior championships in Gaelic football and hurling, which both continue to prohibit professionalism, each draw over 80,000 to fill Croke Park for the respective finals.[11] The NCAA championships listed here are all composed of several separate conferences with varying attendance levels. For example, in American football, 2008 per-game home attendances for the highest level of competition, Division I FBS, ranged from 16,727 for Mid-American Conference teams to 76,844 for Southeastern Conference teams (the latter a record for all NCAA conferences).[12] Inside Wembley Stadium Top 10 in Average Attendance Domestic knock-out cup competitions This section list attendances at domestic knock-out cup competitions in order of average attendance.

In particular, there is a professional football (soccer) cup competition in most countries, and some countries have two. 1 Due to varying figures of 45,000 and 51,300 being given for the two games of the first-round doubleheader, an average figure of 48,150 was used for calculation. International club competitions This section lists the attendances at international competitions between sports clubs. These are usually organised on a continental basis.
