Would not surprise me if they are not making money at all.I wonder what type of money Stadium’s Queensland making from each match at the Gabba and Metricon (not sure if they manage Metricon).
The AFL will be paying Stadiums Queensland to use the Gabba. I have this memory from the Suns board, that the Suns own/manage Metricon.Would not surprise me if they are not making money at all.
Tickets for Metricon are around the $30 mark so can't see them making money.
Not sure if the home game Club cops the loss or maybe it is subsidized via AFL & Qld Government.
4863 crowd number for Lions v Essendon game. The Essendon game definitely had a bigger crowd than the Melbourne game
I can only find two other crowd figures from the Lions games
800 v Geelong at SCG
10,161 v Port at Gabba
A little strange they are not releasing all crowd numbers
Link below for anyone interested in the other figures
Recent Optus & Adelaide Oval figures are included

The ABC should be better than click baiting
While the fixture for rounds 14-18 won't be finalised by the AFL until later this week, both the Swans and the Dockers have confirmed they will be situated in Cairns for their final four matches this season.
Sydney is yet to play Brisbane, Carlton, Geelong, Melbourne and Port Adelaide and could face any of those sides in Cairns.
Fair chance the Lions will be sent up to Cairns to face Sydney.
I just hope we play Collingwood at the GabbaThe current fixture has us with 6 home games and 7 away games with four (and a bye) to come, so it should be 3-1 or 2-2... so fair chance we'll end up in Cairns as an "away" team as part of the AFL's continued efforts to get us to travel as much as they can within the season's constraints, given we've already played the SA hub teams (Port, Adelaide and Hawthorn). Unless we also end up in Darwin at some point...
I reckon if Port get home finals they will be played in Adelaide.I've been thinking, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire finals series were hosted in Queensland and the AFL would make us play our home final/s at Metricon to shut everyone up about us being the only team with an actual home ground advantage.
That makes the most sense but feel like the AFL might not want teams to travel interstate and quarantine in the middle of a finals series, seems more of a headache to organise a week in advance.I reckon if Port get home finals they will be played in Adelaide.
And the teams based in other States ie NSW, VIC or WA will get a choice for their home games if they earn them? Out of AO, Metricon or the Gabba.
West Coast if they earn a first final might be able to play it in WA.
Metricon is a crap ground to watch footy at. Sun in your eyes and the majority of the game is played on the corporates/members side and you can't see a thing. Every time I watch a game there I swear it will be the last time then dementia sets in and 12 months later I have a ground hog day experience again.I've been thinking, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire finals series were hosted in Queensland and the AFL would make us play our home final/s at Metricon to shut everyone up about us being the only team with an actual home ground advantage.
I don't think that is the case at all.I've been thinking, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire finals series were hosted in Queensland and the AFL would make us play our home final/s at Metricon to shut everyone up about us being the only team with an actual home ground advantage.
Further to that, If we finish the season in the top 4, we are entitled to a home final. To play that home final anywhere other than the Gabba would be a farce considering the history of other clubs in the past down south having that same advantage. I am sure we will get finals at the Gabba this year.I don't think that is the case at all.
The AFL has always been a commercially driven organisation and they will play games in the stadium that gets the most numbers through with the biggest capacity, which is why they stage most finals in Melbourne at the MCG and not Docklands Stadium, a stadium they own.
I have no doubt that any final involving Brisbane will be at the Gabba, unless Port are the higher ranked team (GF aside) and it will be at Adelaide Oval. It seems as though no finals games will be played in WA.
Getting there isn't ideal however once you are there it is a ripper of a stadium. Not a bad seat in the house. Players and fans love the con!Metricon is a terrible stadium. Absolutely god awful for watching footy.
Even getting to it is a nightmare, and it is in the middle of an absolute shithole.
People down here in Vic say there is no chance BUT the situation is very different in Queensland then it is down here in Victoria.Could even have a GF Parade through the streets.....make a real big deal leading up to it.
