Old Trafford can hold up to 72,000.
I think I'm gonna buy tickets for Englands match against Greece there next month.
Greece are the European champions, so it should be good.

I think it's pretty popular in Australasia. There is a world cup for it.

The MCG (melbourne Cricket Ground) holds around one hundred thousand people, it's packed to capacity every year for the boxing day test match and comes close to reaching capacity for many other big cricket matches.
