Yes....I thought the stadium was excellent. Lot's of space and the almost vertical downward attitude of seating gives the impression you're right on top of the action. We were on level 5 and the view was great although I'd probably prefer say level 3 for AFL games.

Yeah I went to all levels, Id say 5 is the least favoured , the lower levels offering far better views.

Poor Choombies...

It was interesting that no stadium personnel checked tickets as you went into seating areas to make sure you weren't sitting in the wrong place. You could probably buy the cheapest ticket available and sit in vacant seats in premium areas if that continues.

hahaha...yes, we saw the commotion just in front of us and down on ground level. Coppers and security all over the place. I didn't realise at the time it was him until I saw the article this morning...I'm not sure what he did or said to get thrown out again but he needs to behave himself.

Maybe that's what happened to Choombies?

The guy was at the ODI, its pretty clear to me that he has some sort of mental illness.

Yep for sure, nobody checked our tickets at all.

Once things settle down I reckon the average AFL crowd will be around 35- 40 K meaning there will be a shiteload of empty seats to pick, just like Melbourne.

Stop with the self pity and take your medicine.

mate...I was with my two young blokes and we caught the 111 bus up Canning Highway from near Legends Bar in Attadale...got off at the Busport where they had shuttles running direct to the ground every couple of minutes.....easy peasy. Coming home we got the 659 events bus back down Canning Highway and got off at the same place and was home within 30 minutes...brilliant !!!

That's handy to know mate. I'm in Warragoon, Attadale and knowing it could be as easy as that to get to the stadium, I may change my idea of driving, parking in my office at Goodwood parade, Burswood and walking.

cheers
