It’s not a big deal at all. Just normal for the biggest sporting event in the country.
Perth is small peanuts, and shows it with inadequate infrastructure for major sporting events.

Lol, let me know when Qld can get a bigger crowd than Perth for an origin crowd. Or any sporting event.
The Queenslanders with their tiny stadiums are just jealous.
People in glass houses right? They dont even have a 60k+ stadium for their main sport in Qlnd.
well wouldn't both commonwealth games & upcoming olympics sporting events trump whatever west aussie's have? isn't the capacity difference between suncorp and optus only 7,500? once they build their new olympic stadium whats left for the west aussies to brag over cane toads?
no but they're one of the 2 main global heartlands of the game that have 3 fantastic venues to watch footy at. suncorp, cbus and country bank are superb nrl viewing grounds for fans. even if suncorp is sub 55k it's still the best ground bar none to watch footy at.
Pathetic that a city the size of Brisbane doesnt have a large stadium, lift your game Qlnders. Maybe the Olympics will deliver one, if they ever make their mind up.
are you anti-qld or something? sounds like you never been to qld or attended a game at suncorp. maybe your government insider can have a quiet word to qld government about hurrying up their new stadium location. it is dragging on abit but qlders can be abit slow sometimes.
Plenty of times, its a good mid size stadium. Sold Bundy in optics which got it an extra star from me!
i guess but as far as watching rugby league + entertainment districts near stadia goes it would be brisbane with daylight second. magic round is absolutely pristine and even if you cant watch the games at the stadium the old cax, hotel la or paddo serve as equally good establishments to have a weekends worth of beer rubbing shoulders with fellow footy fans.
Melbourne 30k, Perth 19k
You'd hope they build something decent. When they do, and catch up with the rest of the country, then they can have a crack at other states.
i dont get it, suncorp is great. best footy ground for our sport in the country. its rectangle, it's purposely built for our game. youre flexing an aussie rules oval as something comparable? even after qld builds its 65-70k olympic stadium it won't change rugby league being played at suncorp, so why is this even relevant? west aussie bears will barely play at optus, they'll be playing at hbf 95% of the time.
Just responding to claims that Perth facilities are crap.
ah fair call mate, my apologies. perths facilities definitely aren't crap, optus is great.
Sure if you’re one of the lucky 54k to get a ticket, if you’re one of the tens of thousand due to its ltd capacity who missed out probably not.
20,500 to be exact. Soon to be 27k.
hence theres 2 teams that use the ground and if you dont like either there's another one 1 hour down the road. getting tickets to suncorp outside magic round or finals footy isn't hard. stadium fills most games 40k + but even the bleaches are good seats.
