Hey everyone,
Being a n00b to the AFL, I'm just curious on something. Why is the ground at Patersons considered 'bigger'? I can understand the whole traveling there part being annoying and throwing you off, but I do not get why it is said that Patersons Stadium is the 'longest'.
Is it actually longer at all? If so, by how much? And why? I was under the impression that all fields had to be a set length and width, just like any other sport. Why would there be a field longer than any other? Does this mean it's a bit slimmer through the middle too? Are there any stadiums which are very short?
If someone explain this to me? Just a bit confused.
