Bay FC Sets NWSL Attendance Record at Oracle Park

Bay FC set a new attendance record for a U.S. women's professional sports league with 40,091 fans at Oracle Park in San Francisco during their National Women's Soccer League match against the Washington Spirit. This crowd surpassed the previous record of 35,038 set last year at Wrigley Field and marked the highest attendance since the league's inception in 2013. The event, dubbed 'The Show at Oracle Park,' showcased an electrifying atmosphere and highlighted the growing popularity and potential of women's professional soccer in the Bay Area. Bay FC, which typically averages over 13,400 fans at PayPal Park, used this large-capacity venue to connect with a wider regional fanbase, with aspirations to eventually have their own stadium. Despite Bay FC's 3-2 loss to the Spirit, the game was praised for its quality and entertainment value by players, coaches, and fans alike. The record crowd and vibrant energy signal a significant milestone for women’s soccer and professional sports attendance in the United States.
