The most people came today.
You have to use "came" since you can't calculate how many came until the day is over, so it's past tense. Also, using the word "crowd" isn't necessarily correct.

: Great rendition! And can we say "Today comes the biggest crowd"? Just a reverse structure, kind of echoing the word 来.

: Good and direct. But much also depends on how you phrase the first part of the passage.
