2024 Crowd Watch

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.

Unfortunately the stadium down there was built before they started doing stands with the steep pitch they have now. It a long way below Parra stadium in terms of viewing experience. I'd get behind a rebuild.

eh? you think they should rebuild a 14 year old stadium?

No southern or western AU government is going to build big rectangular stadiums. Makes no sense for the taxpayer.

Geez that`s a real chicken or egg statement. How do you not know that if they build a world-class 50k rectangular stadium those cities and states won`t attract more clubs and/or events that would make them feasible for the local economy.

Haha. Yeah why not? I don't care what they do with Victorian money.

idk if this is bullshit but on the kennel they reckon the pax is 40k?

The ABC and the SMH are both reporting a crowd of 50,000 is expected for this game:

Having ducked a showdown with the AFL on Saturday night, the NRL know there will be a flow-on effect for the second week of the finals.

'It just doesn't work like that': Storm and Panthers on notice ahead of NRL finals

Penrith and Melbourne are the firm favourites to play in this year's NRL grand final, but history shows the top two teams rarely face off in the decider.

A crowd of over 50,035 would be the biggest non-Grand Final crowd in Sydney for a decade (since 52,592 for the 2014 Preliminary Final between South Sydney and the Roosters).

Exactly right and there is evidence in QLD, and NSW that if you build quality rectangular grounds, the sports that use them will experience a bump in attendances and improved corporate sponsorships. Which is exactly the opposite of what the AFL want... And there lies the heart of the issue.

It’s funny how they admit afl states will never get large rectangular grounds yet when it comes to nsw and qld they want billions spent on ovals
