Is a 25,000 capacity stadium enough?

They already average 21,842 per match, against the titans' 17,330...
Sure does and my flight leaves in 5 hours so will be glad to get some warm sunshine.

"WHO WOULDNT WANT TO BE THERE"
Well, about 3000 people who had tickets. Perfect night. Grand opening.... Not interested...
Even less will attend GCS v Pies.
Guys, the lesser teams will get below 10k.
I give GCS (AFL) credit. They own/manipulate/buy media and government on a scale that is frightening for all other sports in Australia. However, wide spread interest within the community simply is not there. Qlds do not know who these guys are.
Even Ablett is living in relative annonymity.

Dunno if it's been answered yet but why doesn't the grandstand go around the whole ground?
Considering the Melbourne Storm are still regularly getting small crowds even though they have been around for something like 13 years and have been very successful on the field i think we should give the Suns a few years to properly establish their fan base before we start criticising their crowd figures.
If the Suns are a top 4 side in 13 years time after winning 3 premierships and are still only averaging a little over 13,000 then we can be worried.
Kneejerk....
..For a match that's been sold out for weeks.

Don't know why everyone is going on about 3k not showing up it was a pretty good crowd, theres a million reasons why those people didnt show up such as those seats being corporate seating (like the MCC at the MCG).
I mean eagles games have been getting about 37k and the ground holds about 43k, not everyone can get to the game.

Crowds against the less favoured teams will be interesting. I'm actually most excited about these games, as there may be a sniff of a win. The game against North Melb in a little while, for example, could be a close entertaining game.
I think 15k is realistic for these games at the moment.

Back in your box!
^ yes, if we get the 2018 commonwealth games, the stadium can be expanded to 40k. What they do with the screen I'm not sure. Up to the club and the stadium management/architects I'd assume.
I feel like i've answered this a hundred times.

Not a bad effort last night given the opposition and the very cold weather in Queensland at the moment. This game would've probably topped 20,000 under different circumstances.

Looks like I was right on the money. Could have been up a bit more had the weather not been so crap (~18k).
15,000 is actually pretty good in the rain/cold. Compared to the Titans' 12,000 last week in good???? conditions.
