Tarps are irrelevant here too, Collingwood are averaging 63,000 which is the most in the league (and there’s room for nuance regarding some matches being at Marvel stopping more people from going) but even if you bumped that number up to 70,000, they feasibly could cover 30,000 seats if they wanted to.
It opens up the door to a couple things, one being another spot for sponsors to put their logo (and therefore more money to the club) and two being that it’s a way to brand the match day as being more home team focused (something we desperately needed having played at the Crows and SANFL’s HQ).
Let’s take a look at two clubs in the AFL today, first off is Brisbane who’ve close off two bays of seats to place advertising boards. Sure the bays are smaller, but the stadium is 10000 seats smaller than Footy Park, and what difference is there in the premise?
And GWS closed off the majority of the top tier to save money on operating the food stalls up there, and to make the crowds look fuller.
I hope that if these two teams haven’t made a grand final for 10 more years their fans aren’t called ungrateful because a heap of people didn’t turn up to their games 10 years prior.
