i recan Melbourne would actually offer more for the Grand Final than $10mill too..
especially a bidding war with QLD

i kinda want the G.F too stay in NSW
but i kinda like what the NRL do and share the FINAL around

he NRL can more than double the money it makes from the Sydney grand final and Origin matches if these big games are taken interstate, according to data which demonstrates the value of major sporting events to rival cities.

Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and New Zealand are willing to pay the NRL to move the big games away from Sydney because their economic impact justifies the outlay.

Firstly, the NRL receives about $4 million from the NSW government to stage the grand final in Sydney. Greenberg’s office has already fielded bids from Queensland, Victoria and New Zealand to take the game to their capitals or country. Their initial offers are around $10m to shift the grand final away from Sydney for the first time.

Secondly, a Sydney grand final generates about $20m economic benefit to the NSW capital while a State of Origin match staged in Melbourne impacts $40m on the Victorian economy. In other words, if a state receives twice as much benefit in hotel, restaurant and transport use, as well as the jobs they create, then the government of that state can afford to pay the sport twice as much to win hosting rights to these big games.

An NRL grand final played at the MCG may not attract as much interest in Victoria as an Origin match but a Queensland government would lodge a high initial bid for the NRL decider, allowing Greenberg to auction the game.

that's the point. The AFL wouldn't sell a premier event like the GF to an expansion market just for cash. How ridiculous

[AFLcrap1]

Oh FFS how dumb are you .
They are not doing just for cash .
It's s an option in the ongoing battle with the Labor party in NSW who have threatened to renege on stadium agreements if elected .

[leeroy*NRL*]

Selling the NRL Grand Final has only arisen due to the fact of Sydney Stadiums.

they are not up to scratch and they lack behind world standards.

if they cannot play in the best>> they will take it to market..

So the heartland fans miss out on the pinnacle of their season because the stadiums they play in all year are suddenly not up to scratch?

obviously you have been under a rock (or maybe a BIG Bubble) as you are in Melbourne.

There have been case studies done by independent commissions
they have proven in particular SFS is not up to scratch and could not be repaired.
and needed to be knocked down.

this was done before the Government gave approval for the stadiums rebuild to occur.

NRL want the best stadiums to showcase Australia's Biggest Game

Unlike Melbourne only 20% of games will be played at the big stadiums in 2019.

(playing a football Grand Final on a Oval Ground is not ideal)
again you seem to miss this point over and over again..
