    I think Bas was more refering to 100,000 at the MCG compared with only 80,000 at ANZ.

    Mind you, it was always a hypothetical because it was never going to happen. Certainly not for the reasons of this issue.

    Still say it would sellout EASILY....

    Thank god for that. GF at Homebush would be nice and convenient but would be a travesty.
    On another note, didn't ANZ seat around 120k during the Olympics?

    Anz loses seats once the ground is configured for AFL.

    I did post that after being up early with the 18 month old son.

    But I agree, wherever it would be it would be a sellout.

    They reduced seats in the outer where the flame was, but I don't think it got to 120,000 unless it included all of the athletes on the ground during the opening and closing ceremonies.

    Capacity was 110,000 for the Olympics, but that included two temporary stands, one at the north end and one at the south. These were a level above the current seating and each sat 15,000. They were removed after the Olympics (along with the Olympic Torch, which was in the Northern Stand) so the ground only sits 83,000.

    When the wings are pushed out to make the ground oval a few seats are lost on the wings close to the flanks. This is because the circular end is immovable and these seats on the flanks have obstructed vision. This amounts to a couple of thousand seats putting the Aussie Rules Capacity at around 80,000.
