Wait until the new stadium is built in Perth! Should be fun!

AFL: 121,696 (1970) - of more than 20 crowds of 100K or more!
NRL: 107,999 (1999) - of only two 100K+ crowds (and the second was a double header!)
Average
AFL: 25,778 (1921-2013)
NRL: 12,913 (1957-2013)
well RL has only had a venue in its main heartland city that could hold 100K plus .. for just 2 years
1999 & 2000
it would also have recorded at least 20 100K crowds for Grand Finals & test matches against the poms over the years since 1908
also
all 20 for the fumbles & bumbles ........... in the one city
infact this one horse town of a code has only had 1 city record all its crowds above 73K

:_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>
the 4 100K plus for RL
in .... 3 different cities
& its crowds of over 73K... in at least 10 different cities
VFL..the pure definition .......... of a one trick pony

Excuses, excuses, Dave. Why didn't they keep it at 100,000? I know why - because they had no faith in pulling such a big crowd consistently. Even with SOO!
RL is a rectangle field sport cockhead
so is no good on oversized cake tins with no atmosphere like say .... the MCG

Still making excuses I see. Something that's "a rectangular field sport" that pulls a crowd doesn't make the slightest bit of fricking difference! And yet they didn't keep it at 100,000! How about some real world thinking for a change, Dave? Oh I forgot. You can't and I know why......

:_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>
what a fucking tool
a dumb *****
how many great .. or even good 100K plus rectangle stadiums are there in the world
answer
none
the biggest that's ok would be Wembley & it went from 100K plus ... to 90K ... just a few more then ANZ's present capacity
of 84K
those that are over 100K ( a few soccer venues & College football venues in the US) do not provide a good experience for those sitting miles from the playing field
this is the reason why ANZ's capacity was reduced you dribbling ****
take a bex & have a good lie down
theres a good little tar.d

of all those stadiums listed are all rectangle, except for 4 of them.
if you go through the list nearly all of the large stadiums are rectangular, fields where, Soccer, Gridion, Union or League are played on.
very stadiums are oval, they are generally purpose built for Olympics so they can fit a athletics track around it
so dave your theory is as usual BS
