Which football stadium do you remember giving you the biggest thrill ?

Question

For me its the G when the teams run out the crowd roar stands the hair up on the back of my neck

Subi was good too but for me its the G

Answer 1

the one and only MCG

Answer 2

ANZ Stadium Sydney on NRL State of Origin.

Answer 3

The MCG.

Me & me sister go just to watch the blokes. The MCG would be better if they put a roof on it - coz when it rains it messes up me wig.

Answer 4

i got a cheap thrill behind the dunnys at arden street in the 80s

Answer 5

VFL park

in the early 70ts

saw heaps of games there

Answer 6

MCG by a mile.

I went to the 2006 GF - and even being a neutral supporter, when the teams ran out and the final siren went - a great thrill

Answer 7

MCG... 1990 GRANDFINAL

Answer 8

waverley and the mcg they are both good venues lots of atmosphere

Answer 9

You may be astounded to know I have only been to one live footy game(i.e.top league) in my life, & that was to a R.L. game between Newcastle Knights & Cronulla Sharks at the Knights ground last year. We had the luxury of the best seats & all that went with it as guests of a business man friend. So it's unlikely i'll forget that for a while!

Answer 10

I bet I would think the G was pretty awesome too if I had ever been there - you can hear the roar on tele!

However, for me it was York park (Aurora Stadium). This is where we used to watch the local footy and where girls went to meet boys! It is also where we used to run out inter school athletics before they built an athletics track. I guess one of the more notable things; it's where they had the launceston Olympic torch ceremony in 2000.

Answer 11

um, ANZ stadium in QLD for Athletics, just having people cheering for you the whole way round the track is awesome! and the MCG for AFL, i get tingles up my spine wen everyone cheers and my team comes out.

Answer 12

gabba, when i got to have a kick on the ground afterwards :D

Answer 13

Suncorp Stadium i think, i went to a Socceroos V Paraguay soccer game, didnt expect a massively great time, but it was fantastic, best crowd experience ever, and this is after being to a packed out MCG and Std Australia. (dont saying they had nothing though, they're both awesome)

Answer 14

vfl park was alway awsome

catching the train to glen waverly then the bus

fun times

Answer 15

Being Irish, (but in Australia at the moment), I have to say Lansdown Road in Ireland. I have seen some momentous rugby matches there.

Answer 16

WIN Stadium, Wollongong in 2003, when my son's team won the grand final against the previously unbeaten team!  

In senior football, it would have been my first league grand final up on the old hill at the SCG in 1979, when St. George beat Canterbury.

Answer 17

Bruce Stadium when a fully packed ACT Brumbies or Canberra Raiders crowd cheering them on.

Super 12 Champions 2001 & 2004.

Molly - There's a real state of origin match next Wednesday night.  NSW vs QLD

Answer 18

Used to like VFL park, train 3 stops  to glen Waverley, then bus to the ground, wild rides on the ride home, we'd take eskys and jump the big wire fence, great days.

had a season off footy when i was young and about 10 of us used to go every week, didn't matter who was playing, even went to a Vic vrs S.A game there once and  we had an altercation with the S.A mob on the train, set their floggers alight, stupid i know but it was 28 years ago, only kids, please forgive me for i not know what i do,   that saying certainly applied to me back in them days.

The 'G' was always good fun too, royal b4 the games on Friday nights or if we had byes on a Saturday or queens birthdays etc, ahh, the good old days, the London tavern ain't bad either, hey cozmeister, pints b4 the footy, good fun. without all the violence, every one grows up sometime. $hit  it took a long time for me though, lol.

Answer 19

Subiaco I remember watching a real State of origin game and WA won by 3pts with under a minute to go and there were 6,000 screaming school kids in the stands behind us.

Still gives me goosebumps when I think of it.

Answer 20

The one and only MCG.

It was the ANZAC day clash. It gives you shivers down ya spine but yet the feeling is proud. The crowd erupted as the Collingwood and Essendon players ran out onto the field. It was amazing.

Answer 21

I love the MCG, but the biggest thrill came at Optus Oval when Ben Dixon kicked a goal for the Hawks after the siren to beat the Blues.

Answer 22

The G for me,when there's a massive crowd and the beer is flowing you can't beat it,and no matter weather it be the G or TD i generally stand around the bottom along the rail where you can sink the P!$$ and not bother others,its the closest you can get these days to the old standing room at the suburban grounds (i.E princess park/optus oval)

Answer 23

My first ever AFL game I witnessed, Richmond-Hawthorn, round 18, 1995 at the G.

After watching footy for 13 years on television, I had finally made it to a game.

awesome.

Answer 24

I always had a great time @ Waverley Park

Answer 25

Hailing from Tassie, i would have to say the G, as its the only one I've been too, (other than Aurora in Lony)

Wasn't for the footy, but the Boxing Day test.

Atmosphere was just awesome!

Saw Steve Waugh get run out in the 90's

(Yeah, havn't been for a while, ( not since getting married))

Answer 26

Well i gotta go with the good old Waverly Park..

Great times were had by the Hawkers back in the 80"s-and by me too....

I even met the great E.J.Whitten there in 1990...

Answer 27

As a spectator it would be the Western Oval on the day Footscray got a record score against Saint Kilda, also the last home & away game there was also good against West Coast. But when I was a Boundary Umpire in the VFL Under 19's I had a game at the Lakeside: Footscray 25 - 26 lost to Sydney 26 -25. I had old School Friends playing for both Clubs.

Answer 28

Granted, I've only gone to one (2005 GF), but the G will hold many memories.. Both good (2 footy pies and the fact I could buy 4 delicious Aussie beers [NOT Fosters] at one time, also attending my first ever footy match) and the bad (Security telling me 1000 ways to get to my seat, none of which were right; finally had to talk a guard into walking me through the MCC portion in order to get to my seat)
