Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Come on guys, someone must have been inside or outside the stadium this week! Need some photos.

I drove past earlier and the East side of the South Stand nearly has all the cladding on and the turnstiles seem to be going in.

Reducing number? Did you see the crowd in Melbourne?

What was the crowd in Melbourne?.

Supposedly 99K for Real - today. I cannot see that as the Record crowd at the MCG - for cricket - is 93,000

For cricket yes but they had a 100 016 record crowd for the AFL grand final in in 2010.
This is the record since the redevelopment to host the Commonwealth Games in 2006 when it became a 95000 seated and just over 5000 standing stadium.

Yes - you beat me to it. I was just looking at the records for the Stadium - and in 2010 the game was AFL - or Austalian Rules - staggeringly the record attendance was for a Billy Graham concert of 130,000.

Went up to the ground this morning and haven't been since the new shirt launch day, they have done loads more work, all the panels and air vents on both ends have nearly all gone in and they have taken down the perimeter boarding so you can see the work at the front where the turnstiles are going and that looks to be well advanced. I am no expert but would hazard a guess that all the main work will be completed in the next fortnight or so. Also spoke with one of the site workers and the large drains on both ends of stand ends aren't going to be put in as they have used an internal drain system in the build, actually on the CGI video the drains are not shown. The stand will look incredible once it's all completed.
