39 acres, Lucas Oil Stadium covers 39 acres of land.  When they open the roof the opening covers 4 acres.  That is a massive building.  To put that in perspective, a city block is between 2-5 acres, the football field including both end zones is 1.32 acres.  There are 43,560 square feet in an acre, so Lucas Oil Stadium covers 1,698,840 square feet.  That is an astounding amount of space.  Now if you assume that the average person needs a space that is 24 inches x 14 inches (about the size of a small file cabinet) to stand comfortably, which is 2.33 square feet of room to stand. Now if you take the number of square feet at Lucas Oil Stadium (1,698,840) and divide it by 2.33 square feet, you get 729,115.87 square feet. Therefore we could reasonably assume that it is possible to fit between 729,000 730,000 standing people within the space that Lucas Oil Stadium occupies.  Of course that number depends on the size and tolerance for close proximity to each other the people have.  Now according to consensus data there are 876,804 people living in Marion County.  This means that approximately 83% of the population of Marion County can fit in the area of land that Lucas Oil Stadium sits on.   Those are some amazing stats. 

Lucas Oil Stadium is an amazing building, the size and magnitude of the stadium is unlike anything Indianapolis has ever seen.  My only hope is that on game day it can house the same atmosphere that the RCA dome did.
