"Dubbed as "The Game at Radio City", the WNBA hosted an exhibition game between the U.S. Olympic team and a group of WNBA stars. Some of the biggest names in the history of the sport, like Lisa Leslie, Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird took the court in one of the most iconic entertainment venues ever. The game was set up as a way to excite fans for the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Athens."
"The NHL Winter Classic is staged in large outdoor stadiums originally built for baseball or football, including Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, and Michigan Stadium. A full-size ice rink is constructed on top of the field surface, creating an incredible scene. Whether it's Wrigley Field's ivy-covered walls, Fenway Park's Green Monster, or Michigan Stadium's massive bowl, the venue becomes part of the story. These stadiums typically hold between 35,000 and 100,000 spectators, far exceeding standard NHL arena capacity."
"In 2010, Northwestern's football team took on Illinois in what was the first football game to be played at Wrigley Field in 40 years. The iconic baseball venue provided a picturesque backdrop for two of the oldest programs in the Big Ten. The Wildcats would also later return to Wrigley, playing four games there between 2024 and 2025 due to ongoing construction at their home stadium."
An INDYCAR Freedom 250 street race will run around the streets of Washington, D.C., on Aug. 23, televised on FOX, with most grounds offering free admission.

The NHL Winter Classic stages full-size outdoor rinks at ballparks and large stadiums like Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Michigan Stadium, often expanding capacity well beyond typical NHL arenas.
