[QUOTE="sanzar, post: 196701"] It's an 83K seater... not as easy to fill as people think (Brisbane and Melbourne are both 50k'ers - Melbourne host it at the Dome, not the SCG - where incidently the people of Melbourne failed to sell out a Bledisloe Cup match by about 20k seats) and it's in the middle of bloody nowhere! Add to that that it's played in the middle of the week and there are already 9 Rugby League teams in Sydney and the Waratahs have a home semi this weekend and it becomes a harder choice for people who want to go to watch all the matches. Brisbane usually looks good because you have one team per sport (though that wasn't reflected in the Tahs Reds game, which had a bloody abysmal turnout - THAT wouldn't have happened in Sydney and in fact last year the Tahs sold out their Reds match).
