Why they would need to is beyond me. Sure, WC are doing Great, but I’d be willing to bet that it’s mostly a shiny new toy thing.
15k on the waiting list @ the Eagles. All paying to be in line.

80k is a tad high and the current structure only allows you to go up to 70k. So how they could do it is also beyond me.15k on the waiting list @ the Eagles. All paying to be in line.

Nope, I’m from Victoria, but I’d guess that the situation is similar to Adelaide Oval having huge crowds at first, and then dwindling after a few years as the stadium wasn’t as new any more.Do you live here?
Rubbish. That is absurd. It is a multipurpose stadium, not an AFL stadium.Eagles have over 10,000 on the waiting list that can't get in! It's ludicrous and good grounds should cater for walk ins.... like the G

This is a taxpayer funded stadium,
not an AFL stadium.
West Coast only have a dozen or so across the year.
Melbourne have more than double the population of Perth.
4.6m compared to 2m.
100,000 seat stadium is 2.1% of Melbourne's population.
60,000 seat Stadium is 3% of Perth population.
Simplistically the stadium fits with our population.
West Coast also want to keep supply low so they can charge the highest membership prices.
Thing is, if you make the stadium any bigger, the break-even number per event increases also because of the higher operating and maintenance costs. Make it too big and you risk turning lots of smaller drawing (not AFL Finals) events into making a loss. The whole idea of having the stadium is for maximum public benefit drawing as many events as poissible - I think next big event at the stadium is Taylor Swift.
West Coast membership might be full but there still seems to be a significant amount of empty seats for most games during the home and away part of the season.
Unless it's a big game or a final how often and many of these extra mostly nose bleed seats going to be filled, is it worth it for the extra capital $ outlay and continuing maintenance of these areas?
Break even attendance to turn a profit will be higher, and how does it effect the atmosphere of the place when it will often be half full?
Yep. We don't need a bigger stadium, we need a third team .You could add that Melbourne has 9 AFL teams as against Perth's 2 AFL teams.
Yep. We don't need a bigger stadium, we need a third team .
& where would the players come from ???
IF you know give Carlton &/or Gold Coast a call cos they cant find them .....
So there is no reason at all the stadium shouldn't be full every eagles game then. All the ITW members should be buying up the spare 10k each game but they aren't.The seating allocated to the Eagles is 50k, the capacity is 60k .... the other 10k includes general admittance.
True but also tbf some of the prices for pretty shitty seats up top were very expensive.So there is no reason at all the stadium shouldn't be full every eagles game then. All the ITW members should be buying up the spare 10k each game but they aren't.

People use logic to come up with the wrong conclusions.
The attractiveness of football is down so the standard must be down.
No, the attractiveness of football is down because the competitiveness is up.
Teams are down because their list is less competitive.
That is, the distribution is imbalanced not that there is any scarcity of good players.
