The previous record of 253,561 fans was set during the 2006-2007 fiscal year. However, as of Friday, AT&T Center’s attendance currently stands at 256,115 guests with five more months left of the fiscal year. The AT&T Center broke the previous record on Jan. 28 by hosting the Harlem Globetrotters.

Some of the big name shows hosted at the AT&T Center included Tool, Miley Cyrus, George Lopez, World Wresting Entertainment, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Jones Brothers.
“We are excited about the number of successful events we have hosted at the AT&T Center so far this fiscal year,” AT&T Center Vice President and General Manager John Sparks says. “As we continue to challenge ourselves to bring the highest quality entertainment to the city of San Antonio, we look forward to continuing to surpass the record set last night.”
