That's a full house compared to the earlier Italy/Austria match where it seemed to be coaches and other teams only.
So far I don't really think Ive seen anything approaching a full house anywhere. Probably a combo of expensive seats that locals can't afford, general antipathy to the Olympics by Brazilians, and foreigners being spooked by Zika.
