LE SCAN SPORT – On average, a spectator drank 1.7 liters of beer during the clash between neighboring countries. Never seen before in Saint-Denis.
Beer flowed freely on October 7 in the stands of the Stade de France which hosted the meeting between Ireland and Scotland, counting for the group stage of the World Cup. On the field, the XV du Trèfle outclassed the Chardon (36-14) but in the ranks of spectators, the Scots certainly stood up to their neighbors in the area of downing pints of beer.
Midi Olympique indeed reveals that that evening, the Stade de France broke its sales record with 137,000 pints sold while this figure is usually around 80,000 during a Six Nations Tournament match.
The information was revealed on the occasion of the visit of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron to the Stade de France on Thursday afternoon to congratulate the employees of France 2023.
78,459 people attended the Group B match, which means that on average, a spectator guzzled 1.7 liters of beer! A great score, therefore, in the stands as on the pitch.
