There's more than just Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs positioning on the line when the San Jose Earthquakes host LAFC on Saturday (8:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass ).

A record crowd is expected at Levi's Stadium for the matchup, as San Jose announced this week they'll be opening the upper deck of the 68,000-seat venue in anticipation of the in-state rivalry clash. Should the final attendance tally surpass 50,850, it will break San Jose's single-match attendance record set in June 2019.

"It's a big game and an important game," Earthquakes head coach Bruce Arena told reporters on Friday.

"Obviously, it's going to be a big crowd, and I'm sure there'll probably be 50,000-plus [fans], so it'll be a great crowd for the game, and hopefully we can give them something that they can cheer about."
