Correct!
I certainly enjoy the ground. Was at the last loss there (first time went to the 'dome'), but since then seen us beat the saints there, essendon (twice), bulldogs plus Richmond in the Wizard cup grand final so except for the prices (over $6 for a burger - just the burger to eat last night. It was that or become very irritable to all around though :p ). it's become my favourite away ground.
Went to see Geelong and Essendon in 2002 when I went over for the Kangas match. Beautiful place to watch footy even from the second to back row...

Nice ground to watch from but make sure you've eaten tea before you get there. I had a rubber hotdog, that i'm sure is still repeating on me now. A friend had what was loosely described as chicken & chips another had "hot chips" that were in fact as close to frozen as you could get without actually being in a freezer and as for the prices well they make AAMI stadium look like a great place to shop. $4 for a coke or a rubber dog, & $4 for a pint of midstrength (which is all you can buy at night in terms of beer).

You think that was bad, when I went to the Wizard Cup I bought what must have been a condom with vegetables in it, heated by one of the shop assistants allowing it to nestle in his trousers for 5 minutes.
