I guess they have made sure to fill out the lower rafters.

Respectable crowd. Today will be larger?

In his blog Chris Irvine suggests Newcastle (UK) is considering bidding for the 2011 event.

Where would they put it in Newcastle? How bigs the stadium over there?

At St. James' Park - which is the same size as Suncorp Stadium. From Irvine's blog sounds like it would be a bid by Newcastle United to host.

They reckon the Magic weekend is worth £10M to the Edinburgh economy. The RFL should be shouting this from the rooftops and get a bidding war started for the privilege of hosting the Magic weekend. St James' Park would be a good size to hold the event at. It holds about 52,000 I think. Newcastle is reknowned for it's nightlife and it's not as far for ESL fans to travel.
