Charlotte FC made a record-breaking home debut Saturday night, setting a Major League Soccer attendance mark of 74,479 in a 1-0 loss to the LA Galaxy.
“Welcome to the largest party Charlotte has known,” Charlotte FC and Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper said to the crowd moments before kickoff.
"It's no surprise there was a fan base so ready and so eager to show support," Vanney said. “Our job was to come here and be the spoilers of the whole thing so I'm happy for that.” “We've waited for this for a while,” said Lenny Romero, a Charlotte fan who wore a curly wig of Charlotte FC blue. The final attendance topped the old MLS high of 73,019 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium when the Atlanta United played the Portland Timbers for the MLS Cup in December 2018.
For several games, the stadium's upper level will be closed to fans. Still, it would give Charlotte FC a capacity of about 38,000.
