What?It's actually a 27% increase.
What are you expecting WA3 to average? They'd be buoyed by derbies, but I would guess 20-25k.
Whereas 360k seats would be the equivalent of averaging 32.7k seats over 11 games. That'd easily cover demand for the next decade or two.
Which means you can give Team 20 to somewhere that actually needs its own team (Canberra), and come back to WA3 if they're exceeding demand with 360k extra seats.
60k increased to 70k = 16.6% across 22 home games. 220k extra seats.
Extra 11 games per year = 50% capacity increase compared to 22 games for the whole season. 660k extra seats.
Freo averaged 23k year one in a 40k stadium with 1.3m in Perth. I recon WA3 gets conservatively 30k home attendance year 1.
It’s not just about the attendance. Its about having capacity for walk ups which we have bugger all compared to every other state.
