Two things.
Firstly, this just means that they have positioned their stadiums way better than Sydney has. Well done to them and it actually works very well for them.
Secondly, if say, you live in Broadmeadow, or Wyndham, or Frankston, travel times aren't just a walk or a free tram ride, as you suggested. It's no different to living in Berowra, Hurstville or Cabramatta.
Your claim that Melbourne's infrastructure is better than Sydney's couldn't actually be further from the truth.
Their tram system is good but really no better than Sydney's bus equivalent. Their train system really isn't a patch on Sydney's.
As for their roads and traffic - it's just as bad as Sydney.
I've been there 3 times in the past 18 months. Driven all three times in that city and also caught public transport each time using the Myki card.
Honestly, Sydney is way ahead with infrastructure.
Fair call…
But as a visitor /tourist , I am only interested in the first point , and imo the cbd iis well setup, structured, positioned , designed whatever you want to call it. You have acknowledged that.
Couldn’t less about the 2nd point, not sure many visiting would , particularly those not driving (which is shit there with some of their rules )
Drove into Melbourne cbd with QLD number plates back in the day was an eye (an ear) opener, never been abused on the road so much lol
Visiting there isn’t as shit as many as saying , thought that was the general convo, unless I read the room wrong ?? Though it’s always appears fun to bag them out..as they do to us
