I think it's great.
Let them waste their money if that's what they wish.
After the first game of AFL nobody will care one iota.
You have to admit these Sydney-siders are like that.
They build a state-of-the-art rectangular stadium right next door to the SCG to spite AFL.
These days it's lucky to be half-full yet they want to tear it down and rebuild it again because everybody is going to the SCG. It's going to have two modes - normal for normal crowds and shut down for NRL.
There want to re-juvinate ANZ stadium. however the NRL H&Aaverage is 9k.
Real smart these cookies from the East.
I think the NRL will get a bigger crowd to the double header than what you think. There seems to be a positive vibe about it on social media. A lot of people taking about heading over, etc.
At the end of the day the NRL is a company selling their product, the AFL is their main competition, can't blame them for trying to get one up on the AFL. The AFL do it to them in Sydney.
You love having a dig at NSW and Sydney siders, but even with all the 'sh*t house stadiums; the city still gets the events. Cant stay Perth has had the most impressive stadiums of the last 30 years. Perth builds a stadium and then you get all worked up when sports want to use it.
Some bloody awesome events are locked in their over the next few years.
Anyways it looks freakin awesome and im sure any state of this country would love to have it in their backyard.
