then this from the AFL site
Also known as the Brisbane Cricket Ground, the Gabba previously hosted some Queensland Football League matches at various stages during the 1900’s. Queensland’s home of cricket became the home of the Brisbane Bears in 1993 when they relocated from the Gold Coast.

Capacity: 39,202
Address: Vulture Street, Woolloongabba, QLD 4105
Ground dimensions: 156m x 138m
Ticket agent: Ticketmaster


I think the roughly 37000 is about right though

its strange how the official number can vary so much but 36/37k seems to be the go now days when considering no crowd to events ever seem to reach over that figure

its 42k on the official web site

37k on Austadiums

Massive crowd at the Gabba last night - another sell out. 12 last year I believe - which is amazing. And it was clearly a lions crowd - very passionate. It’s a pitty we can’t get ratings for Brisbane as would be good to see how it rated. Will Fox ever release ratings for Brisbane ? Think it would be quite good last night - I’m sure Wookie will let us know when or if they come out.

It’s a crowds thread ********

[Fred]

I did ask about ratings to be fair. Do we only get FTA ? Would be good to get all over ratings re: pay tv and FTA and whatever else goes into it.

But take your point - it is a crowds thread and was a ripper last night.
