I would like to know what percentage of the state with the smallest population can fit in the country’s largest stadium.
I remember walking into my first sports venue as a kid and realizing just how many people there are in the world. It was eye-opening to see 40 thousand folks just gather in a small(ish) area like that
And DC, with 5.9%, is only a tiny portion of the huge metro area that would go to that stadium.
Fun fact Mountaineer Field in Morgantown, WV is larger than the two largest cities of Charleston and Huntington.
In Nebraska, that stadium filled up becomes the state’s 3rd biggest city. Crazy to think about
Somehow my mind is being more blown by the states with the smallest numbers, given how populous they are. There are SO many people living in Cali, and you’re telling me that 1 in 500 of them could be in one building watching the same game. Wild!

New Mexico achieved the 9th most populated Municipality at a football game back in September 27th when the New Mexico Lobos played New Mexico State Aggies! About 37440 fans attending the game.
FYI – The largest stadium in Indiana is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it has 257,000 permanent seats and holds up to 400,000 on race day (3.7% to 5.7% of population).
