Let \( x \) be the total number of people attending the game. According to the problem, 13% of the attendees supported the visiting team, which implies that 87% supported the home team.
We know that 3045 people supported the home team, so we can set up the following equation:
\[
0.87x = 3045
\]
To find \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.87:
\[
x = \frac{3045}{0.87}
\]
Calculating the right side:
\[
x \approx 3493.10
\]
Since the number of people must be a whole number, we round 3493.10 down to 3493. Thus, the total number of people attending the game is:
\[
\boxed{3493}
\]
