  • Biggest Sports Events Ever Staged in Florida
    Biggest Sports Events Ever Staged in Florida The United States has witnessed many of the biggest sporting events in history, some of which have taken place in Florida. When looking at the biggest sports events ever staged in Florida, we must begin with the Daytona International Speedway. The Daytona International Speedway is the largest capacity sports venue in Florida and can accommodate over 100,000 people. The racetrack in situated in Daytona Beach and opened in 1959. It is home to the most prestigious race in NASCAR, the Daytona 500 and this is one of the biggest sporting events in the calendar for US sports fans. The 500-mile-long race carries the largest purse of any NASCAR Cup Series event and since 1995, no other race has topped the domestic live television viewing figures, with even the Indianapolis 500 falling behind. In 2006 and with 20 million viewers, Daytona 500 attracted the sixth largest average live global television audience of any sporting event that year. So, it is easy to understand why it is regarded as one of the biggest sports events ever staged in Florida. The 1994 FIFA World Cup was staged in the United States and one of the venues used for the event was the Camping World Stadium. Known as the Citrus Bowl at the time of the tournament, the stadium is located in Orlando and played host to five matches throughout the World Cup. That included a Round of 16 knockout matches between the Republic of Ireland and the Netherlands in front of over 60,000 people.
