Victoria government paid $40 million for it

NSW didn't feel it was going to be worth the money.

Poor decision, I reckon.
This would have been a great boost for tourism and would have sold out Accor.
I'm seeing people from Melbourne talking up the MCG and the decision to have the NFL there, "They just wanted to have the biggest and best" bullshit. Nah mate, Melbourne just paid more money to have it.

I was at Accor back when they brought a college game to Sydney years ago (Cali vs Hawaii). We were far enough from the ground then. I can't imagine how shit the view will be at the MCG. The closest fans will be almost 80m away from the action.

Parramatta is an Indigenous term for a place where the Eels lie down, so there is a long standing tradition here.

Dragons are a myth from Fairly Tale. What's Dragon speak for wooden spoon ?

Fascinating seeing Brady talk about how he ripped apart the Kansas defence in the super bowl 4 years ago.

I would assume many QBs would watch a lot of a tape.

But Brady sounds like he was a perfectionist that wouldn't have been satisfied unless he knew every detail about what the defence was going to do.

That was one person who thought that. No one else thought it was a good idea.

Problem was the one person who thought that was our CEO at the time.
