A crowd of more than 90,000 is expected for Saturday’s international friendly between Real Madrid and Juventus at the Rose Bowl, organizers say, which would make it the largest for a soccer match in the U.S. since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The previous high since the pandemic was 87,842 for January’s Rose Bowl game between Utah and Ohio State.

Rose Bowl parking lots will open at 3 p.m. Saturday, three hours before kickoff. Organizers are urging ticket-holders to arrive early. Fans without tickets are encouraged not to come to the stadium.
