The lack of refurbishment and upgrades to the Gabba cost it hosting a test match against India last summer. The Queensland government won’t cop that again and I think further improvements the venue are a guarantee.

Yes, but attendances dropped off last year for the BBL in the whole league. mainly due to the number of games and length of the season. If the BBL catches fire again, then the attendances will rise to capacity.Only questioning any suggestion a bigger stadium is justifiable.

A refurbishment plan was announced last year: https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/po...upgrade-plans-move-ahead-20180819-p4zyeo.html

“This business case will ensure that the Gabba stadium is re-elevated to the number one cricket and AFL stadium in the world,”
Dear god, that first link contains this beauty of a quote from the Qld Sport Minister:
Re-elevated? Can anyone point me to the first time that the Gabba fit that description?
Plus this renovation would have to be pretty far reaching for the Gabba to get anywhere near the MCG, Adelaide Oval and Perth Stadium to name just three.

I don't think the Gabba should be majorly upgraded, as the government must think of the future(Olympic future) and what its plans are. And there is nothing wrong with sell-outs.
But it is a bit short-handed to use just one season to say the Heat didn't match up to your 90% capacity rating when they nearly averaged it the previous 2 years out of 3. But the BBL season used to only go for 4-5 Home games.
Interesting happenings in South East Queensland...
At the same time the Lions sold out their Qualifying Final within an hour of public release the Broncos hosted the Parramatta Eels in a defacto Elimination Final in the Friday Night lights (the Eels in many ways are pretty much the Tigers of the NRL)
The Eels are one of the biggest clubs in the NRL, perfect storm etc.
Nonetheless with cheap tickets and promotions, the Broncos drew just over 33,000 (a similar game 5 years ago probably draws 40,000)
Something is happening in South East Queensland, for the first time in 15 years the power balance is starting to shift back to the Lions.
Like the Swans in the NSW market (sorry Giant fans) the Lions are the premier brand Australian Football brand in the Queensland market. The Suns are a bit of a sideshow, and probably won’t have the reach and impact in SEQ that the Lions have.
In order to drive significant grassroots and commercial growth the Lions have a great opportunity to reassert it’s position in the 3rd largest market in Australia
Its not the lions mate
It isn the tigers
I reckon 5 k Richmond fans are making the trip minimum

To be fair NRL must have thought bye weekend was following weekendCan never understand the NRL not taking advantage of the AFL Bye weekend. Storm played away when there was a weekend of clear air.
Likewise, if I was the AFL I’d be playing our games when NRL aren’t on.
Working together instead of against only helps everyone in the long run

The AFL usually puts out a press release saying how many tickets are left ect. Usually they put it out on the Monday before the finals. Hopefully we get one today.Has the AFL given any official ticket updates?
From what I can gather from the ticket sites:
The Gabba and Perth Stadium are both sold out
The MCG all but sold out, down to standing room / restricted view
Giants’ Stadium has a handful of bays with some seats available on the top level or up the very back of the ground level.
Would be amazing if we could get 4 official sell outs by game time.
No restricted view left at mcg now from what I can tell. Standing should sell out too you'd think. Interesting that they asign standing tickets to particular bays, like you see at thr grand final. Not sure if theyve done this in previous finals.Has the AFL given any official ticket updates?

If you select Best Available --> 1 adult, it comes up as no seats being available. Looks like an official sellout.No restricted view left at mcg now from what I can tell.

Have they yet released tickets to the upper level of the stand directly opposite the cameras at gws or were they first to go?
Standing still comes up when I click best available 1 adultIf you select Best Available --> 1 adult, it comes up as no seats being available. Looks like an official sellout.
It is not a sell out until they say it is.If you select Best Available --> 1 adult, it comes up as no seats being available. Looks like an official sellout.
