MLS attendance record expected for El Tráfico at Rose Bowl

El Trafico 1

A sell-out and record-breaking crowd is expected for Tuesday's El Tráfico between the LA Galaxy and LAFC at the Rose Bowl (10:30 pm ET | Apple TV - Free).

The Galaxy have announced that over 80,000 fans are expected to be in attendance for the Matchday 23 showdown, which was originally scheduled for MLS is Back opening weekend. Due to inclement weather, the game was shifted to July 4th.

That projected crowd would establish a new all-time MLS attendance record, surpassing the record Charlotte FC broke last year. The current mark sits at 74,479 fans, set in March 2022 when the then-expansion club hosted the Galaxy for their inaugural match at Bank of America Stadium.

Tuesday's battle for Los Angeles, the 20th El Tráfico in rivalry history, is bound to be a spectacle.
