Looks like more bays across section 1,2 and 3 have opened up. If these are all bays that still have any tickets available (besides the outer bay 4), we should see a good crowd of 45k+

They’re trying to sell out these three inner bays which will look great on tv.

I’d imagine they could sell some tickets on the day of the game to tourists who are looking for something different to do that evening, particularly sports fans that would love to check out allegiant stadium.

Australian rugby star Matt Burton drawing NFL scouts’ attention with jaw-dropping punts

The NFL’s annual Scouting Combine has been taking place this week, and there’s a good argument to be made that Matt Burton should have been there.

I’d rather hear the bad argument tbh

Dally M football in use if anybody cares

So it's pretty much guaranteed now that tomorrow's crowd will be over 40K with the NRL confirming that there will be between 34K-36K international attendees (depending if you take the Telegraph figure for SL fans or the Guardian).

Ticket sales map reinforces that view with less than 800 seats available across three tiers.

Latest release is encouraging. If there were any significant blocks in the lower two levels left, they'd be releasing them now.

Keen to know how many seats on Level 3 have actually been moved. If they haven't been playing any games sales wise here, 50K+ is in the mix.

My prediction for tomorrow is above 45,209 now. PVL is confident, they've put out the travel numbers early and there is talk about what's needed to beat last year. If that wasn't in the mix, the narrative would be very different.

Yes it’s definitely good news. Even a week ago it was looking like 35-40k would be a decent turn out this year but now we could actually be pushing 50k which would be an amazing result.

Lol. Very narrow field. Didn't think football was that bad.

It was ok I thought, something to build upon.

They should consider moving the Men's Test to Allegiant. They could either play it between the SL & NRL games, allowing the Super League match to return to the earlier timeslot, or at least to kick off the day.

At least it will help move tickets versus the Nines Finals they've added to the schedule.

FFS mate, you were bleating on post after post about lucky to get 35k for the last month, now all of a sudden you`re Nostradamus (less than 24hrs before kick-off). Priceless.

This is ball used in USA Scotland match. Ball is branded Dally M, which was official ball of nswrl from 1930's to 1960's. Obviously synthetic these days not leather.

Graph from the Financial Review.

Interesting to see the NRL ratings in the same ball park as NHL and EPL

Insane to see the NFL average 18 million per game!

Anyone know if this years games are on Fox FTA ?

Has this been posted ? An Americans view ...

Our winter sport viewing figures are split between two codes (70/30 to NRL) combine those numbers you prob get say close to say 1.5m total, being conservative, could be 2m, multiply that by 12, that`s how much bigger the US population is to Oz, we`re pulling the same if not more as a proportion of the population to watch the winter codes.
One day it will be all ours and we will be the NFL of Oz.

Well information was more limited before. We heard nothing from the nrl about how many tickets had been sold. Now in the last couple days we have a lot more information and the sales map is clearer.

Unfortunately not it’s on FS1.
