You are including things like F1 and even the f**king big bash in that list. A true indication would be to compare sporting leagues with more than 100 matches in a season. NRL ranks 14th in the world. Pretty impressive.

If we ever get to 25K that puts us inside the top 10 for average attendance. We ain't that far behind when you use common sense.

Why not change it to games played with an oval ball. Nrl is then second. Yippee.

f1 has ten teams competing across 24 rounds of competition. sure it’s unique as a global competition with a round each time in a new location and all teams ‘on the field’ at the same time, but it’s still in effect a season long team competition.

Our fan base is younger than most, That either relies on teenagers being allowed to travel on public transport alone or parents being free to take them. Depending on work schedules and that makes some games not possible to attend
Like Thursday nights. Families find it hard cos of school and work on Friday.

Obviously the Tigers wouldn't have been a huge draw at Suncorp. But you'd imagine they are missing out on a crowd of 18k or so by playing it at Kayo.

Although when they scheduled it they wouldn't have known it would be their first home game.

Is there an alternative to Suncorp for the Phins? A 15-20k seater they can play at? Suncorp is great for their big games but for the smaller games and lower drawing opposition surely they have something with a slightly higher capacity to play on. They’re locking 5-10k fans out every week playing at Kayo.

"every week"?

There's currently only one other game in their draw scheduled at Kayo - Round 27 v Canberra.

“Every week playing at kayo”

probably not the best wording but my point stands, they’re leaving 10-20k fans locked out of games this season. not sure what their home game split is going forward but Kayo ain’t it.

f**king hell. Surely you're taking the piss at this point? If you think comparing F1 crowds at a 10km racetrack with any sporting event that uses a stadium is a legitimate comparison I can't help you.

Likewise a 6 week Mickey Mouse tournament like the Big Bash cannot be compared with 30+ week competitions like the NRL. It is not apples for apples. They are not even remotely in the same category. Grow a brain.

Sunshine Coast Stadium will be 16k with the option for 20k.

Hopefully, the Dolphins will commit to 3 games a year, and SCCC can buy a game or 2 off teams like Souths. That should convince them to upgrade to 20k.

12 games at Suncorp (10 home plus Broncos away and away Magic Round) with 3 games on the Coast would be perfect.

Phins are like the dragons of qld, conservative old merkins happy to play out of small little suburban dumps & live off the early bird buffets and pokies. Still think they are the top dog in the qcup.

What about the Rugby Union stadium Ballymore.
