The Game 2023 Crowd Watch

First time doing a full weeks worth of predictions:
Dolphins vs Bunnies - 18k; hoping for a push for 20,000+ but the time slot and day is a killer.
Sharks vs Roosters - 12k (Sellout); may see it not be a full sell out due to the time slot, but it'll be as packed as it can get right now.
Maly vs Melbourne - 17k; inching closer and closer to a sell out in the stands but hard to predict how many will buy up the hill tickets.
Warriors vs Cowboys - 21k; selling nicely. could see more.
Knights vs Penrith - 22k; anticipating tickets to sell more but going off what I see plus unsure if all members will attend, I see it around this range right now.
Titans vs Broncos - 23k; At the rate the tickets are selling I'll be genuinley shocked if it is any lower than this. Could also push for a sell out if Flexi members opt in for this one.
Raiders vs Dragons - 16k; Originally had this one at 14k, but checking the sales now and the time slot it's in makes me hopeful that it'll break 15k and push for 16k
Eels vs Bulldogs - 25k; Could see this pushing to sell closer to 28k, but only time will tell.
TOTAL - 154k
Average - 19.25k

I left a LOT open to interpretation as it is my first time properly trying this. If anyone has any tips or tricks with it please let me know on how I can improve!
After your Titans estimate I’m never challenging your guesses again :)

I just don’t see that as being the smart move. The club have built hundreds of apartments surrounding the newly renovated leagues club precinct with hotel and shopping centre options, just to give it all up?

The club is on the verge of something really exciting and is in the most stable position it has every been. Commercially it’s never been better, there is a stable, savvy and well connected board, with long term contracts for Fitz and Nicho, the on field performances should bode well for future signings and premiership contention.

There has to be a way to build an inner bowl seating 25k to finish off all the great work.
somewhere between 15 to 20k with good views and comfort should be fine for them

Round 1 2015 is an anomaly, with season openers usually drawing better crowds, and the match being played at a more friendly 7pm Brisbane time, versus 8pm due to Day Light Savings.

This is Brisbane's TNF crowds for 22, 21 & 19 (20202 removed due to COVID meaning a lot of games had no crowds):

2022:
16,740 v Cronulla (Round 8)
30,341 v Parramatta (Round 24)

2021:
21,224 v Penrith (Round 6)
23,600 v Melbourne (Round 12)
19,176 v Rabbitohs (Round 15)

2019:
21,081 v Dragons (Round 3)
24,393 v Wests Tigers (Round 5)
20,818 v Canterbury (Round 18)

If Dolphins get 20K, they are doing alright.

Parramatta are always big draw cards wherever they go...

Dolphins crowd will be interesting. First real stand alone crowd at Suncorp for them. Maybe 18-20k Given Thursday night?

Just imagine how much revenue the Sharks are losing each time they're playing at home. They're missing out on a close to 10k fans each time attending games. When will the construction of the ground be completed? It looks like it's taking forever!!!
Sharks haven’t cracked a 15k crowd avg in 15 years, they aren’t missing 10k fans due to restrictions lol nearer 2-3k.

But if they were travelling well and had a similar stadium like CommBank,they would definitely get that potential 10k easy,as new stadiums attracts more of a audience...plus the biggest crowd @ Shark Park was close to 24k...

Hard to justify the investment of public money in a dedicated stadium for Cronulla when it would be used by the NRL no more than 13 times a year, especially when compared to the workload at CommBank. Same goes for Brookvale.
