The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

[ash the bash]

Warriors need to start campaigning for the North Stand to return to Mt Smart.

Their fans are back in force and ideally the club should be using the opportunity to try and get the ground close to the 30K capacity it once had.

I think a better call would be having a permanent 2 tier southern stand with some corp thrown in. Leaves the norther end open, make it a party deck to watch the game from, MLB style. Plus with hosting concerts at Mt Smart leaving the northern end open allows them set stage up in area.

Ch9 said they sold 48k tickets tonight

Also mentioned that only 51,000 available for the game - must be something happening to reduce the capacity by 2,500. Probably a stage or some areas that they deem too restricted for rectangular fielded sports.

Was just thinking from a cost perspective. Adding back the Northern standard requires minimal investment as the foundations are still there from before and buying new seating is relatively cheap.

If the Warriors could get bigger investment, that would be great, but considering there is a semi regular debate over how many stadiums Auckland should have, etc, I think that would be a lot more difficult to get support.

Here are some thoughts from my Adelaide local of a colleague that I convinced to go. We’ve converted him!!

 

[It's Been Done]

The South Australian Rugby League Record Crowd until tonight is 28,884 for St George vs Balmain in 1991. How much is tonight going to crush that record? Keep in mind the maximum capacity of Adelaide Oval is 53.5k, 1k more than Suncorp

48,613

48,000 apparently. Great crowd.

 

[It's Been Done]

Channel 9 has said the crowd is 48,613, almost 20k more than the first NSWRL game at Adelaide Oval in 1991 back when it held only about 32k

Great result. Ground looks packed on TV, atmosphere has been amazing, NRL has made a killing in revenue and we have Rugby League being talked about in South Australia.

Wouldn't matter who won tonight.
This game of ours shows why it's simply the best game on the planet.
Edge of the seat stuff.

Encouraging signs for tomorrow's Women's Origin match with the upper corner bays coming back on sale at Commbank Stadium. They wouldn't be releasing more bays if there hadn't been some movement.

Got promoted tonight in front of 4 million. Should have shifted a couple.
