capacity crowd
Every seat taken
A capacity crowd fills a venue to its maximum allowed occupancy.
The term appears almost exclusively in sports and entertainment contexts: A capacity crowd of 80,000 watched the final.
The phrase emphasizes not just that many people attended, but that no more could have—the event sold out completely.
