That game was seen by a live crowd of 22,361 fans -- the biggest for the league in the pandemic era. That number was shattered by the crowd on Sunday, however, many of whom arrived at the venue more than three hours before the 5:45 p.m. tip-off. The world&#x27;s largest indoor arena has hosted a handful of the most well-attended PBA games, including Game 6 of the 2017 PBA Governors&#x27; Cup Finals that was watched by 53,642 fans, and Game 5 of the same series that saw a gate attendance of 36,445 fans.Ginebra is in control of Game 7, 95-77, as of posting.
