Well, I was joking of course, but let's look at this seriously. If we take a band through Sydney (34 degrees latitide), just wide enough to include the stadium, which is 220m diameter, the band's area will be 40000 * .220 * cos(34), which is 7300 square km.
As for the South Pole Station, the information at http://205.174.118.254/nspt/ric/station_.htm says it houses 148 people within 250m of the pole, which gives a density of 750 per square km. If our band through Sydney has the same density it must include 5.4 million people. The population of Sydney is only 3.7 million. The entire population of New South Wales is only 5.6 million. You're going to have to cram them all into another 51 stadiums to beat the South Pole. Even the Olympic Games won't achieve that, I suspect.
