Super Bowls generally attract capacity crowds. 80k is probably all the stadium can hold. Hundreds of millions more watch on TV. That's not to say 100k isn't fucking awesome, but comparing it to Super Bowl numbers may be getting a bit ahead of yourself. | ||

In Japan they have huge stadiums and super domes. I'm sure Korea has some that are just as large. I don't want to throw out a random number but it may have been 150,000. I am not sure. | ||

Or even see the crowd cheer could affect their game play they DEFINITELY can't hear the commentators (wtf?) and they're not supposed to be able to hear the crowd either (headphones and sometimes protected in little boxes) but there have been accusations of "ear hacks" lol | ||

Or even see the crowd cheer could affect their game play I'm not sure about now but there have been occasions where a player has heard the crowd and used it to his advantage. Many people probably recall the time Boxer pulled his units away from stop lurkers because the fans were screaming. Because of incidents like that they probably try to prevent it hence the playing booth (in huge games) and thick headphones. I'm not sure if the thick headphones can block everything out but. | ||

I've heard that before but it just seems way too big - that's more than a largue stadium's worth of people. But you're forgetting that SC does not need the whole playing field to be played, so there is even more space for viewers. The game that had 100k live viewers was some final maybe a year ago, can't remember exactly and probably it isn't very hard to google accurate info about it. | ||

There's a humming sound "produced" in the booths, Boxer once complained it was annoying him, so they are completely safe. The incindent was with a small crowd in some indoor place and they had to leave after it. | ||
