Its a funny little ground. Built for baseball I think, it feels like one end (the opposite of the scoreboard) is more pointy than the other. Not sure if it is. They block out a whole bay of the ground for a cover band (!?), and the food and drink outlets seem to be set up for a 50,000 seat stadium, yet dont sell decent beer.
They only open one gate for entry, which is a pain if you park, but the kick to kick afterwards is awesome, especially with the band playing.
Kind of has that no-expense-spared part build during the olympics, mixed with prudent economics of the post-games extensions.
The worry is that its just not a viable location. Canterbury bulldogs tried it and failed, and they are an established team. Its an inbetween capacity which suits them now, but what if they are successful. Already it seems a little to small for their co-tenant the Thunder cricket team. Does that mean more investment will be made ?
Highest rating fox footy game of the year.
Me too Doctor. Australia v Japan. Must admit, not my game. Got pretty bored.

My personal fave out at the old showground was the human cannonball during the Easter Show there in the early 2000s. They first put up goal posts around 2007 I think for junior footy but even then the oval was still surrounded by a dirt track for speedway racing. As I remember it, the state government then ponied up about $30M for improvements to get it ready for the GWS.

I watched the game on TV. I supported the team on the field.
I didn't support the marketing department; I supported the club.
Jenny, are you here? Does the money I spend to purchase merchandise go to the club, or the marketing department?
Either way... MY support money was in the swans handbag... not in the handbag of the blacktown bogans.
