- This match set the highest attendance for a standalone rugby league match played in the United States, eclipsing the 12,349 that attended the 1987 State of Origin exhibition match at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach and the ≈12,000-12,500 that attended the 2008 pre-season trial between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Leeds Rhinos at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville. An international between the United States and Canada at Baltimore Memorial Stadium in 1995, which acted as a curtain raiser for a CFL match between the Baltimore Stallions and Toronto Argonauts, posted a crowd of 27,853.
