The new Olympic precinct looks amazing. Way to go Brisbane

75000 at Carlton v Pies - whilst a decent sized crowd - a bit dissapointing - Carlton home game doesn’t help given how they are going - first crowd between the two since covid below 80000.

what are the costs to get in to a game in Sydney?

i know here in perth its substantially more than Melbourne, basically as the clubs can due to fan bases and stadium size

Concourse level at SCG starting at $65 for adults, $44 for concession for Friday night Swans vs Bulldogs.

So good to see.

Agree to a point - I could see another tea min south West region of brisbane - Ipswich area. Canberra is obvious. Newcastle is one I think that goes unnoticed - and untapped.
