2025 Crowd Watch

[yakstorm]

Sales map for Storm v Broncos. Very little research seating left, club has put out the 'limited tickets left' messaging, so I imagine the GA bays will be heavily populated. Match should comfortably be 20K+.

​

Newcastle is showing some promising signs for tomorrow, despite being at 6pm. Chance of rain tomorrow, so that may impact final numbers.

Terrible weather in Newy today, hoping it clears a bit tomorrow or yeah the crowd will suffer.

Titans may be looking at our first sub 10k home crowd since 2022. barely any movement over the past few days, and it is projected to be raining Sunday

This means Foxtel, to some indirect extent, by dint of their respective deals with AFL and NRL, are helping the Suns attract casual fans over the Titans.

I don`t think there`s any doubt that Foxtel, even Nine, for a long time have seen more upside with the fumbles than Rugby League, more kid friendly, attracts a wealthier demographic, better run and so on.
Whether under our new administration, recognizing the importance of the non-contact versions of the game, coming down hard on the off-field stuff and running the game better in general has changed this, we`ll see.

Saturday looks wet in Brisbane. Such a shame because the Phins were working towards 25-27k, but I can't see it happening now.

Forecast has improved a bit, was "very high chance of rain" 2-20 mm. Now "Very high chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon" 2-15 mm. Not much, I guess, but going in the right direction.

Fingers crossed it all comes in the morning. On a positive note, Phins have started selling onto Level 5.

21,324 at AAMI Park tonight.

So after 9 games at AAMI Park, the Storm have attracted 191,598 fans for an average of 21,289.

Feels like the Storm have made another jump in popularity down there which is good to see.

Will be curious to see how they go once Bellamy retires and they start losing more.

Still to come, Bulldogs & Roosters, both Friday at 8pm.
Last year Storm's 11 games in Melbourne totalled 218,338 , average 19,849

Storm still have roosters and bulldogs home games to play. You’d think they’ll finish around 22,000 average which is outstanding.

21,324 at AAMI Park tonight.

Great crowd when you consider that across the road Storm were against two AFL teams with over 100,000 members each.

 

[i0Nic]

Yep if that game wasn’t on you’d think Storm would have got another 2-3k to the game tonight.

 

[i0Nic]

Storm can build to a 25k average with their plans to move the warriors game to a bigger venue. If they can hit 35/40k for that game, plus sell out a couple times at aami, they’ll easily hit that average in the near future.

I could be wrong but I believe the MCG has been ruled out. The MCG like to use that time during Gather Round to repair the field. I'd rather they just stay at AAMI and focus on filling it out every game. Maybe one day they can convince someone to paint the seats purple lol.

The MCG hasn't been ruled out. There's been talking down of it in news columns with some MCG-related spokespeople but it hasn't been ruled out.

Marvel isn't an enjoyable venue to watch sport.

Talk about a backhanded compliment! Let’s just enjoy it for what it is. Rugby League has officially made its mark in Victoria. How good.

Please no. That place sucks.

A few months ago I remember listening to a interview hosted by Whateley (I think) on SEN and they were interviewing whoever was in charge of the MCG. During that interview he was asked the question about the Storm potentially playing a game at the MCG (this was after the 9 news report on the Storm wanting to play a game there which is why I listened to the interview). He mentioned that the Storm hadn't put in a request yet but it most likely wouldn't get approved during Gather Round because they want to preserve the playing surface due to the constant action it was seeing. I might try and find the interview if I can and post it.

I’d happily cop an MCG novelty game but not Marvel. Marvel is just depressing and soulless, I don’t care about the view tbh.
