stadium crowd

Fans filling seats

A stadium crowd is the mass of spectators gathered at a large sporting venue or concert.

The phrase evokes the collective energy, noise, and visual spectacle of tens of thousands packed into tiered seating: The stadium crowd roared when the home team scored.

It often implies something about scale or atmosphere that "audience" doesn't capture.
