37,111

[McCrann]

AFL needs to average crowds of 37,111 over the last six rounds to hit 7 million spectators for the Home & Away season for the first time ever.

The AFL is well on track to an All-Time Record Home & Away attendance (just needs to average 32,187 for a new record).

Can the AFL hit 7 million through the gates for the Home & Away for the first time though?

https://afltables.com/afl/crowds/summary.html

Currently crowds are sitting at 4,996,006 (Average 34,694) up 2% on last year (Last year was an All-Time Record itself).

This means 2,003,994 are required for the last 54 games of the Home & Away season - an average of 37,111.

Last year's record Home & Away crowds were a total of 6,734,062. AFL needs 1,738,056 (32,187 approx. per game to beat that record - which should happen easily).

With the weather getting better I reckon they're well on track for this.

Should be good crowds this week averaging around 40,000 I'd suggest.

What do folks think? On track for 7 million or not?

But how bad is the state of the game with all this ugly footy!!!

More fans will attend games in the lead up to finals. All-time record is very achievable.

I suspect it will fall short from here

 

[tigertigertiger]

Richmond and Collingwood finals, record breaking attendances pending for sure

Poslition Position, Position.. and for good luck.. Location..

On the back of Eagles and Freo fans at Optus. Most crowds are down.

I reckon I could name 5 sports off the top of my head that are having record breaking attendances at the moment.


I watched live Lawn Bowls on TV the other day, followed by the Lacrosse.

Well go on you tease....

 

[Mcarcherey]

if they don't make it they'll just fluff the numbers anyway, who would ever dare question the AFL and it's integrity....

What difference would it really make to the average footy fan if the AFL did fudge the figures?

 

[HowYouDoin]

Two north Melbourne home games should get us to that 7 million figure

 

[parano1a]

I have noticed more free/discount offers from clubs than usual... Carlton was offering 75% off Level 1 Reserved seats to the Hawks game.

Depends on the club.

WC sure as s**t ain't giving out freebies.

Half expecting them to tack on a 50% surcharge for the "Nic Nat memorial fund."

Looks like those millions of fans have somewhat different tastes in game style to the noisy keyboard warriors on BF.

Lawn bowls, darts, WNBL, AFL, volleyball.

Entirely due to the new stadium in Perth being able to host 20,000 more fans per game.

Would be interesting to see what the numbers would be like if that was accounted for.

 

[tandino]

Only 48k up on this time last year. Based on that it would be very unlikely to get to 7 Million.

Attendance in WA is up 230,000 compared to same time last year.

Crowds are up, as far as i can work out, 0.93%. If not for the new stadium they would be down 3.7%, all else being equal.

Yep sounds about right. Weather has been quite bad for many Optus Stadium games and combined with the Dockers' indifferent form we certainly aren't packing 60,000 week in week out for both teams.

Except less of the bottom teams fans will attend.
