Natural turf for the Optus Stadium

(Also voted the best stadium in the country)

Voted by who, the people of Western Australia.

I would back it in that most international tourists who put a sporting stadium on their lists of things to see would pick the MCG any day

Sorry d2dave, to break your big Victorian bubble, but the voting was done by a world wide panel

Prix Versaille: Perth'''s Optus Stadium claims top gong as world'''s '''most beautiful''' sporting facility

And the best stadium in Australia was an Australian panel who put the MCG in its place (third) behind the Adelaide oval

Optus Stadium named Australia's best venue - Australasian Leisure Management

Even the Victorian commentators that were on mmm radio in the weeks leading up to the grand final also had the same opinion about Optus stadium

The G is and always will be. The Swan river back drop is jaw dropping and makes me home sick

Lucky me

My replay watch to date.

Game is one week old. I have watched 2 full replays and the second half twice.

If not for 2 interstate trips in the same week I am sure this would be higher.

Life long Demons barracker. Still celebrating!!
We have a family photo of me, 3 y.o., in 1964, wearing a hand knitted Melbourne guernsey that my Mum made. Mum embroidered "Number 31" on the back in white wool.
No one ever thought it would be this long between drinks.
I am going to get a replica made of that old guernsey and put it on when the flag is unfurled in Round One next year. Then I am wearing it all winter.
Very best wishes to all true believers.
