Where was the World Cup match with the highest in-person attendance held?

Maracana Stadium was packed (and oversold) with 173,850 paid spectators, and perhaps thousands more who illegally snuck into the stadium for the 1950 World Cup final. The largely Brazilian crowd hoped their country would win its first World Cup on home soil; unfortunately, that was not the case, and Uruguay beat Brazil 2 – 1.
