Last month I attended the AFL (Australian Football League) grand final in Melbourne at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground). Its capacity is 100,018. The game ended up having 100,016. I'm curious as to how many a normal baseball stadium would hold. I was watching Rangers game today, how many does that hold?
I thought my team had it bad, we've won 1 championship in 113 years. Good to see Texas make their first grand final

It sounded so loud on tele. I wish everyone could experience an AFL grand final. 100,000 screaming fans is amazing

I can certainly appreciate the fact that rugby is so popular worldwide, but I have NO idea what I'm watching when I accidentally flip to it.

I've tried to make sense of it, but nothin doin...

My brother plays rugby and I have gone to some of his games. I swear, half those guys were missing teeth! They don't wear any padding or anything! It's insane! I alwyas thought that it was like their own version of "Fight Club" ...

haha I'd say so. AFL is biggest sport in australia, there's bound to be someone around hot to explain. There isn't that many rules really haha
