Only looks like 14-16k at Homebush this afternoon.

I thought this would draw better. It's a gorgeous day in the worlds greatest city today.

Keep it up guys - 25k v the Sea Eagles!!!

Well, I don't know what the capacity of Mount Smart Stadium is, but there could possibly be the potential to break the ground record at Mount Smart Stadium when the Warriors play Manly in a couple of weeks time. The ground record is 30,112, coincidentially against Manly (back in 1995 on a Friday Night game, I think it was).

Bonus is that it's on a Sunday arvo over there, and if weather is fine and considering all the renovations and upgrades to the stadium in the last couple of years, the crowd could be very close to that 30,000+ crowd set 12 yrs ago. If good weather prevails, I'd expect nothing less than 25,000.

It's rare to see spectators sitting in those grassed areas beside the main grandstand. I'd like to see those areas full, although they don't appear to be the greatest veiwing points.

Due to the ground recongifuration, it holds about 25,000 I believe these days.

The number of bloody times i've answered you in regards to the capacity of Mt Smart, you should know its about 24k now.

Although i've no idea where you can fit another 3400 after last night.

Just got back from the dogs game, was a pathetic crowd, very very poor turnout. It was a nice day and it should have been a bigger but is disappointing.

Then, how were they able to fit in crowds bigger than that in their inaugural year, when the second tier to the other grandstand (opposite the broadcasting one) wasn't built yet?
