Fair enough but at the end of the day it’s just going to watch a footy game. The fans are not showing up at Marvel.

I agree with you 100%.How is its concrete brutalism any different to the MCG's?? The MCG is just a massive concrete bowl. Nothing there is over 30 years old. It doesn't really have any character. Outside it's sheer scale there is nothing exceptional about the MCG.
Bang on. The MCG is big, but the stadium itself has very little character. SCG, Adelaide Oval, Kardinia Park, AAMI Park actually have a unique atmosphere and aesthetic about the place. The MCG and Docklands are just your stock standard modern concrete bowls.How is its concrete brutalism any different to the MCG's?? The MCG is just a massive concrete bowl.

We considered going as we had nothing to do on the Saturday night. MCG was pretty barren for our game as everyone retreated for covered seats.I’ll ask West Coast supporters, as a fair few were present and did the double following their win over the Hawks earlier in the day. What did you prefer?
Just enjoying a footy fuelled weekend?
I’d find it hard to watch a non north game for mine.
The MCG tenants absolutely hate the fact that the AFL make them play a handful of games there each year. That trip of ten minutes is an absolute killer.What is it at the Docklands that Melbourne people don't like? As a visitor once or twice a season I love going to the Docklands to watch footy, it's a great viewing ground and thats kinda all I am looking for as a spectator.
What is it that makes it so unpopular with the locals?
Bingo!!!!Soulless, sinking monstrosity with a small, slippery and rock hard playing surface. Hence the congested & scrappy games.
Should be bulldozed and rebuilt properly.
All the grass is dead/dying at best.
Joke of a stadium
Controversial opinion: Marvel is a much better venue for viewing the game than the MCG.
