2024 Crowd Watch

[SLRBRONCOS]

It is correct but is for all games combined. So still might miss out once you get in

Yep, and once it gets to 'your turn' it doesn't load for 5-7 mins.

Hopefully they can split it into separate queues per event

That is the next thing it needs.

Let me click on the game I want and wait.

Yeah I get that but fact is this is the 21st century and a city of 5 million has a rectangular stadium which at most holds 30000. The larger grounds in Melbourne provide a sub standard experience for league union and football fans. You’d think with some forward thinking a 50000 stadium would be in the wings but no.

Originally AAMI Park was supposed to be 20,000. At the time of planning for a new rectangular stadium, Melbourne Victory were getting more than 20,000 at Docklands. Eventually Victory signed up as a tenant, and of course so did the Storm.

However, a capacity of 30,000 is still relatively small. That was highlighted last year in the WWC, where it only hosted the group games and round of 16. AAMI Park and the city of Melbourne were MIA from the quarter finals and beyond.

Melbourne should at least have their own Allianz Stadium, but instead have MacDonald Jones Stadium, a venue in regional Newcastle, Hunter Valley.

Disagree. Storm crowds of 20k or even 28k would lack atmosphere at a 40k+ stadium. Wouldn‘t want to lose that just to gain an occasional soccer match. 30k is perfect until Storm are selling out the majority of home games.

Take that AFL hat off before responding thanks. A city of 5 million having a rectangular stadium of only 30000 capacity is ridiculous. It’s not just about the Storm although there is nothing stopping them needing a bigger stadium on the future. And no your afl stadium Docklands is not the answer.

I get that AAMI park is their home but geez you'd be tempted to try and go all out and pull 50k to Docklands or the MCG. Surely the boost a huge Victorian crowd gives offsets not playing at their usual ground.

Marvel stadium for the prelim final

What has having a bigger stadium so we can host soccer games got to do with AFL? It would not be better for Storm. I didn’t mention AFL. You are obsessed with AFL, not me.

Marvel stadium for the prelim final

In between AFL and cricket seasons, so if they are allowed to bring the stands in they should do it. Great crowds there during the WWC. Very good stadium for watching RL in my experience.

Level 2 is very close to the action, great sight lines for RL, same with L1 sidelines with stands brought in. I sat in L3 (top level) for the first SOO there and the atmosphere was brilliant under the roof, but you are a little far away. Then again, better to be a little further away than locked out of a sold out AAMI.
