90% in an away match is more impressive than 23k in Dubai with 50-60% fan percentage.
++++
EDEN Garden's official capacity is 66k+. MCG 100k.

There are 8 COLLEGE FOOTBALL stadiums which are larger than MCG (Capacity)

Univ of Michigan - 113k.
Penn State - 110k.
Ohio State Univ - 104.9k.
Texas A & M - 102.7k.
Univ of Tennessee - 102.4k.
LSU - 102.3k.
Univ of Alabama - 101.8k.
Univ of Texas - 100.1k.

Every year, for 6-7 home games they are always full. Such is their passion.

There are more than 50 stadiums in college Football which are bigger than Eden Garden capacity wise. People can't even fathom the atmosphere on a night game in LSU or Ann Arbor. The only other stadium can come close to the college football is Seattle Seahawks. They literally created earth quakes just by roaring. I am not making this up.
