yeah very true.. Its absolutely shocking watching a rectangle code at the MCG
you are so far away from the Action..

Melbourne Government should of done AAMI PARK as 40-50k stadium..

it would rarely be filled though.

No figure was announced.

I am pretty sure this deal was done a while ago.
which insured Melbourne get 1 origin every 3 years
for a period of time, not sure when this expires..

I do know however W.A Government paid 5million for the ORIGIN MATCH for 2019

Good for Origin and good for the Blues,

More neutral grounds with Melbourne next year and now this, they now might have a chance of a winning a series in the next 10 years

And like usual where do all the bandwagon fans go after SOO game is over?

Adelaide Oval set to host State of Origin in 2020

STATE of Origin is set to rock the Adelaide Oval, with the blockbuster interstate contest heading to South Australia for a historic match in 2020

The Adelaide Oval Origin showpiece will be announced by the NRL at a press conference at the famous venue at 10.30am today.

(I'm expecting it was a huge big money deal)
after Perth paid upwards of 10million to hold the 2019 Game.
