The 49,095 spectators gathered by the game in March 2017 remain as a record attendance at the new stadium for a league game. The general cap is taken by Athletic-Barcelona with 49,154 fans in the stadium.

The aspiration that this season’s Athletic-Real Madrid have a Overflowing monitoring in the stands collides with the match scheduling date and the mobility conditions that the attendees will have. The match against the LaLiga leader threatens a traffic collapse in Bilbao since the return home of the fans is not guaranteed by public transport.

The schedule of services for the day establishes that between San Mamés and Plentzia, which covers the entire service on the right bank, there will only be two trips after the game (23.37 hours and 0.02 hours). In the other direction, there will be four convoys that will arrive at Basauri. The line to Portugalete will have its last metro at 11:55 p.m. In Renfe Cercanías’ planning, services are just as limited: the last train to Muskiz is set at 11:38 p.m.
The Most of the access to the stadium will take place in private vehicles, collapsing the surroundings of San Mamés and with anticipation that the parking spaces are exhausted in the paid car parks at Hacienda, Termibus and Euskalduna, which on more than one occasion have covered the capacity when the Athletic game is after hours.
