This ranks inside the top 10 in terms of NCAA Tournament stadium attendance.
The last time we saw an NCAA Tournament attendance at this number or higher was during the 2017 Final Four, which also took place in Glendale.
The 2017 semifinal drew over 77,000 people to the University of Phoenix Stadium.
Considering the post-COVID attendance over the last few years, these numbers show how much of a market there is for sports in the Valley.
