Welp, GWS vs Sydney at ANZ ( Accor Stadium Australia ) Round 1, 2022. I live in Vic and don't go for neither team, but still can't wait to see a Game Played there
I have never realised How Much work goes on behind the Scenes when not allowed inside the Stadium. Moving the entire Stands forward DAMN, I wonder if the MCG is similar except there isn't NRL games played there.
MCG doesn’t have movable stands, they should get them though. Docklands stadium in Melbourne does have movable stands though to go from AFL to NRL/Soccer
@@BrisbaneBroncosfan67 yeah probably too big for A league games, but the stadium still has the capacity to host bigger soccer games if needed. AFL don’t use ANZ/Accor stadium anymore either, only one game there since 2015 but if they want to schedule a big game there they know they can.
@@allanlafontaine2587yeah the only a-league games that Docklands could host are finals games, but the A-league finals are in the AFL’s season, so that won’t happen.
CityRuler1 Footy park was worse, access was terrible, and the facilities barely cope with crowds above 25,000. But recently the MCG and Docklands are both nightmares for getting out of there by train, I've had to wait up to 30 minutes to get a train to Dandenong, before getting a Cranbourne Train from there home
I remember from this year, Saturday nights after the football at Patersons Stadium I had to wait up to an hour one time for a train leaving Perth train station going out of the city
Impressively well designed stadium. Anyone know how do they after the turf underneath the seating that is pulled over for NRL? Are the seats retracted every week for maintenance of the turf and to provide it with some sunlight at least?
It’s a terribly designed stadium because you can say how well the seats can move and all that shit but you are too far away from the action to enjoy, no matter the seat you sit in, it’s an absolute shocker
What a fortune there's such a stadium large enough to franchise almost all types of ball game... In Taiwan, nothing is larger then a baseball field, which only half as large of Cricket field.
I wouldn't say I have a closed mind, but at the end of the day I guess I like sports that have a more free-flowing gameplay; so I can sit down and watch a game of rugby union but the stop-start nature of league and gridiron makes it too repetitive for me to watch it for 2+hrs. As for last year's AFL GF, yeah that's a pretty spot-on call, although we've had a pretty damn good run of notable GFs, you have to go back to 2000 for the last GF that was that unremarkable.
Why the NRL bashing? I love both NRL and AFL. I probably watch more AFL but if you enjoy sport why can't you enjoy the spectacle of each. I support the Swans and the Roosters and go to both games. Go you roosters!
Yeah but this stadium is too far away from the field, has no atmosphere most of the time, bad views at the northern and southern end. It’s the worst stadium in Australia, the best stadium in Australia is the rival of this one, Suncorp stadium
Oh please, NRL is a dying code and you know it.... I always see people here complaining about how terrible AFL is, the presence of AFL teams in rugby territory clearly gets under you skin doesn't it? Down in Victoria you have no idea how much we don't care about NRL, the culture is nearly non-existent. We literally regard it with the same disdain as A-league soccer, it is that unworthy of consideration down here.
Charlie Boyd its not that, the only reason they do it there is because of the capacity of seats they need when a final comes they need at least 83 thousand seats then a 30 thousand seat stadium
AFL is the reason this stadium is not one of the world's greatest treasures. What a nightmare, THANKS FOR NOTHING from the people of Sydney and the football codes we're actually interested in (check out the ABS participation rates: www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Lookup/4156.0.55.001Feature+Article1May%202009)
Nothing like wasting billions of dollars of tax payers' money on redeveloping perfectly good and new stadiums!!!! As if there are no more pressing need in NSW.
The only people that call it ‘GayFL’ are those that are just jealous, don’t understand or can’t accept the fact that Aussie rules is the real Australian football and shits all over league any day of the week.
watermelonandpotato 1st: "NRL a dieing code", i welcome your attempt via facts to prove that bogus claim. 2nd: Football is the biggest/best game in the world period, the fact that you dismiss it so easily might explain why Vic is such an insular state with closed minded people like yourself talking up a niche sport played seriously in 3 states in only one country, with no representative future on the horizon. 3rd: AFL's presence in Western Sydney is a losing venture as it stands, along with all the other recent expansion teams, not to mention the Bloods are still struggling to make a profit each year, look up the losses on all the expansion teams balance sheets, the fact that AFL moved GWS games to Skoda (not western Sydney) then Canberra says to me that they are holding up the white flag, and that is 2 years in haha. 4th: As a western Sydney boy who supports the Bloods, i wish the Giants a slow death.

Thats so cool! Ive always wanted to watch the transformation!
I love when they just move the stand lmao
Awesome video, well done. Love ANZ stadium
How tf do you “love” this stadium, great acting
Yeah this stadium is bad for all sports.
i miss old design during sydney 2000
Wdym it’s literally the same thing but they got rid of the stands from sides 😂
what is the song name at the beginning. I remember it being a good song just can't remember the name?
Great video!
Is it ever going to host AFL again? Swans Preliminary Final is at SCG this year.
Absolutely - we hosted the GWS v Swans match earlier this year
shame they don't use ANZ stadium for Swans and big bash games now
We seriously hate it. The Sydney Swans belong at the SCG

Wont be doing this very often anymore :D
They still do but only for BBL games
Nek minnit. . . .2024
It needs to be said, I went to ANZ Stadium travelling from Perth in September to see Freo v Sydney. Worst place for AFL I've ever seen.
please come down to docklands
I have. Docklands is so much better than this. Yeah, the field is shit but its not as shit as the wings at ANZ

CityRuler1 ouch!
Changed to Accor Stadium now for any newcomers to the video.
I hate this stadium. I cant wait until its rebuilt and it becomes a permanent rectangular stadium. Amen to that.
So now that it’s not what are your current thoughts?
Fuck
Same, everything about the 2000 olympics was good except for this stadium
Go swans!!!🕊
amazing
Awesome!!!
Impressively well designed stadium.

I’d say union is as repetitive. Constant rucks
they should have a WRESTLEMANIA there
YESH
I hope in the near future WWE can do WrestleMania worldwide instead of just in USA & Canada
It would be like at 7am your time. Won't work.
It looks like the NRL is bigger than the AFL is. I'm American so I could be wrong.
Na mate alfs bigger in Australia
And the reason why there's so many people at the nrl game was because it was the finals and the opened up the top part
bailey campbell Oh ok thanks for clarifying
AFL has a MUCH higher average attendance than NRL
That doesnt mean that its more popular by any means.
NRL TV viewership is much higher than the AFL.
The stadium is not so bad when they play Nrl Over their
Look at all the work Nrl has to put in just because
Recommended after 10years 🫡
Your telling me the posts aren't stuck in the ground?!?
Yes they are
if anyone com9lained that anz stadium doesnt have rectangular field, remember it also host cricket game
Not anymore
I’m so sad they changed the name I preferred ANZ stadium then Accor stadium
Why haven't they played cricket or footy there for that long, I mean they probably since the video came out.
Why the NRL bashing? I love both NRL and AFL. I probably watch more AFL but if you enjoy sport why can't you enjoy the spectacle of each. I support the Swans and the Roosters and go to both games. Go you roosters!

Finally. Someone with common sense!
Great visions! Up the Swans!
Cool
I was at that swans game
Wanna hear a joke? .... NRL!
AFL with all it's rule changes is becoming as bigger a joke.
Want to hear an even bigger joke AFL
@@adambrock3932 how is Australia’s game a joke?
That’s Accor stadium
that is good...
nice

Just think, London could have had a great, adaptable stadium like this. Instead, they tried to do it on the cheap and are paying to have it fixed now.

STOP CALLING US SOFT
Other wise we will knock NRL players out and then we'll see how soft we are
but its funny and true
ANZ is a shit ground for AFL anyway. In fact, it's a shit ground for any sport. Thank God they're going to renovate this soulless shitheap.
