Out of those I think the '96 Olympics was the biggest event.
The event lasts nine days and averages about 100,000 people per day.
Second Place - I'd have to say the 1983 NCAA FINAL FOUR that was held in the PIT in Albuquerque. This was the championship game where NC State (coached by Jim Valvano) won over Houston 54-52. This is the game where Jim Valvano runs all over the court after the game (is shown on ESPN among other stations often).
I'm sure there are more, but that is what jumps to me off the top of my head.
