If my bag check last game is anything to go buy, just carry a baby with you and you could probably take a carton in
Done that a couple of times at the cricket. A full test day means its harder to get through with out buying food. The hotdog flask works brilliantly.I really want to try the hotdogs in the coffee flask trick. Just put the buns and sauce in your bag and the sausages in the flask and you are laughing.
Back when the Storm played at Olympic Park we used to put nearly a slab every week inone of my mates kids pram. They never ever looked at the pram. Those days in the standing room where a bit special though. Bit reminiscent of my childhood in the outer at WaverlyIf my bag check last game is anything to go buy, just carry a baby with you and you could probably take a carton in
Again tonight there was a lack of lighting around the edges of the ground in the second half. Obviously it is a deliberate attempt to save money - I presume by the Lions (unless it is the Gabba Trust). Either way it is ridiculous.
The TV cameras struggle to automatically adjust when the ball moves fast to increase the necessary lighting. And it must make playing marginally more difficult, especially around the pockets / the boundary line.
I have just never seen anything like it with the crowd looking like it is in partial darkness. Oh well, I guess it is in keeping with the spirit of Fitzroy. Anything to save a dollar.
Now that the digital signage goes all the way around now, plus above the bench, I wonder if the lighting is designed to make it look brighter.Again tonight there was a lack of lighting around the edges of the ground in the second half.

I honestly think they are still configured for cricket. They focus is obviously on the centre pitch, and all the night time cricket games they play at the Gabba have a much shorter boundary than the AFL field.Again tonight there was a lack of lighting around the edges of the ground in the second half.

The kids entertainment outside the ground is pretty ordinary this year. Not sure what the answer is because obviously this stuff costs money. A single "ride" that you have to line up for 45 minutes is not going to get the kids in. I think I prefer the footy based activities of the last few years.
Boy did we make some noise after half time though. The Gabbatoir is stirring from its slumber.
If we nag them enough, maybe we can get them to turn off the lights as they transition the ball out of defence?have just never seen anything like it with the crowd looking like it is in partial darkness. Oh well, I guess it is in keeping with the spirit of Fitzroy. Anything to save a dollar.

Wasn't just the one side of the ground, I can assure you.Was great booing the Suns off at half time. Entire side of the the ground let them have it.
yep. we always have a guess at the crowd and i was thinking around 24,000, that 2nd half was electric.I was a bit surprised it was only 20k. Felt much busier and so much louder than the North game. Amazing what difference 2000 people and a winning team can make.

Treasurer and Minister for Sport Curtis Pitt announced today the new screens would provide an improved match day experience for fans, as well as ensuring Queensland venues remain competitive with other states.
"Major hirers have been asking for this infrastructure to increase their ability to engage with fans on match days, and also ensure nobody misses out on any of the on field action,” Mr Pitt said.
"We will be investing $7 million to deliver four new LED screens at Suncorp Stadium and The Gabba, each approximately 140 square metres in size, which is more than double the size of the existing screens at Suncorp Stadium."
"These upgrades are key to Queensland successfully hosting the Rugby League World Cup finals in 2017 and will also put us in fighting form to snare an NRL Grand Final from Sydney. This would not just be a historic achievement for our state, it would deliver enormous financial benefits."
"The existing replay screens have been outdated by the rapid advancement of modern video technology, but now this world-class venue will boast world-class screens,” Mr. Pitt said.
Probably $6,999,000 at Suncorp & $1,000 at the Gabba.
