2019 Crowd Watch

[Stallion]

This stadium is a game changer for the nrl, it’s reasonable to expect an average of 20k+ for most games, excluding Thursday nights, which would see the games avg attendance break probably 17.5k.

Apparently Parra v Saints is almost sold out ! ?

Great looking stadium

You expect it in its first year with a honeymoon period, but the ground is the perfect size & location to sustain it, provided they can convince other clubs & fans that it’s not only parramatta’s home ground, but a home ground for all west syd clubs.

Looking from the tv angle : The top left hand corner has a few hundred seats not being used. Otherwise a great sight!

 

[Suitman]

28000 and something.
So many empty seats.

Yep! Hope it's 29something! 2000 seats is way too many not to have used! I suspected the lower number and it does dissappoint when being informed 30000 are showing up.

I got home and missed the run on. How did it look with the VIP area instead of a tunnel?

Looks kinda awkward to be honest. This is only the second 'open' tunnel club i've seen, the first being in an NFL match. The walk way is roughly 1.5-2m wide but looks much tighter with people reaching out and yelling. Tottenham and Man City do it good with a 'closed' tunnel club with 2 way glass which provides the exclusive, behind the scenes feel. Good concept although to bring into Aussie sports.

Metricon on the Gold Coast and Optus in Perth both have this. It’s a new thing.

I suppose you could say that the scg has had it for years.

Excellent crowd. Corporates must be fully sold out.

Seems like they must be able to fit more than 30,000 in because there are a lot of seats vacant.

Crowd is actually 29047.

29047 to be exact. This may get topped by Saints v Parra in a few weeks time!

This stadium has just saved the NRL from death

Magnificent crowd. Well done Sydney!

As a neutral (Parra hating) fan, this Stadium could be the start of a real resurgence in NRL crowds.
Hopefully other teams....Tigers, Doggies, Souths, even Panthers take a few games a year to Bankwest. The potential here is massive.

I would like to think that once the SFS is done that Manly, Souths, etc take a few games each year there too, with a view to a more permanent arrangement.

What a way to christen a stadium

It will work with South Sydney but not Manly Warringah. A 25000 seat stadium is required in northern Sydney.

Not going to happen, even in my grandkids lifetime.

It's a shame the Bears and the Spirit aren't around in any meaningful capacity. But yeah, hell will freeze over before that.
