Well this is the Estadio Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, holds 120000 although the Maracana stadium in Brazil used to hold 180000 standing people, now reduced to 100000 seated capacity

most have the stands way too far from the pitch though, which means the atmosphere suffers. foreign players always say they enjoy playing in england, because the fans are so close to the pitch
