Amazing crowd in Melbourne for an amazing game tonight btw

What was the crowd figure?

You’d hope so, they only have to sell 10k seats!

 

[APPSY]

Do we have an idea of the crowds for Cows vs Knights & Storm vs Wahs?

 

[The Great Dane]

If the Raiders keep on winning they will fill the place

Nah, the stadium's too shit for that. It's rapidly getting worse as well.

There was a weird stench coming from the western grandstand, and the concrete cancer in some of the older parts is starting to get a little bit scary. The way things are going there's a chance it could be closed for the public's safety like the AIS Arena was.

Post game the announcer said "in front of 21,000 people" at Storm v Warriors, but no official figure published as yet.

Looked like more tbh

Still, going to be a good average to start the year for Melbourne, next home game we have Brisbane who typically draw good as well, Thursday night though

Hard to see where there is 7k empty seats, looks good tho

Wasn’t the capacity decreased when the new screens were put in? Or was that just temporary?

 

[shewi6]

I remember they weren't letting people sit in the corners during construction, dont know how much if any the capacity reduced.

That looks more then 21,000....great looking crowd.

 

[Vlad59]

Around 126000 for 6 games. Should easily make 155000 for the round.

Capacity for the venue was increased after the construction back to 27,706 (still down from the original 30K)

I wonder if the GA seating the Storm has further limits their capacity?

Is the Cowboys fans still in the turnstiles trying to get in.

Does my head in how late peeps rock up at the new joint. I got into the stadium at about 3:45pm and it was desolate, people were still coming in after kick off.


19k is about on par for that game IMO.

Will be interesting to see how the QCB surface fares after the Pink concert this weekend......

Being 4.30pm instead of the usual 5.30pm clearly is an issue, you could see that same issue in Brisbane Thursday night.

Good to know the capacity is now 27,706. Do you have a source for that?

GA sections including corners were packed. They are the value seats @ AAMI. Family ticket $78.

Last night‘s game and Coates’ try is already a talking point down here. Showed my 9yo son the Fox/Kayo mini this morning and for the first time he is pumped to be going a game and asking about the rules. We don’t get many games at family friendly time so I reckon 12/4 v Dogs (Fri 6pm) will get a decent crowd as well.
