What may be helping the round 1 game crowd wise, is the timeslotMentioned it earlier in the thread - the staff member I spoke to earlier in the week said they were expecting 35k.
If 35k is the 'stretch' then 30+ sounds realistic and if so is a huge crowd for a Port game. We got 30k to the 2019 final against GWS, so it's seriously impressive if we do.
Usually timeslots cater to Melbourne AEDT but 7.10 PM is a nice change for Brisbane.
During daylight saving we usually get a 6.10 PM or 6.40 PM start time for evening games on a Saturday
Hopefully we do get a 35K crowd and then maybe the AFL will have to keep that timeslot in future
