The 22,838 spectators at the State Fair Clásico set a record for the largest crowd attending a professional women's sporting event in Texas.
Why it matters: The women's soccer match drew an even bigger crowd than the 20,409 who attended the Dallas Wings game against the Indiana Fever in June at the American Airlines Center.
Driving the news: Dallas Trinity FC hosted América Femenil on Saturday for the first Clásico match at the Cotton Bowl.
Though Dallas Trinity lost 3-1, fans were loud and energized throughout the match.
Flashback: The previous attendance record was set in September 2022 when 21,284 fans attended the Houston Dash game against the KC Current at PNC Stadium in Houston.
