USWNT sets attendance record during 4-0 victory at Cardinals' Busch Stadium
USWNT sets attendance record at Busch Stadium
With the women's World Cup starting this summer, the No. 2-ranked U.S. Women's National Team squared off against the No. 17 New Zealand team at Busch Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Following Adam Wainwright's patriotic lead from last summer, the St. Louis fans turned out in full force and helped set an attendance record for a friendly on U.S. soil:
With 35,817 in attendance for today's match, this is: The all-time largest crowd for a stand-alone #USWNT friendly match at home.
