Absolutely. Have you been to a game? Was at Chargers V Raiders in 2024 at SoFi Stadium, incredible. Except for the $30 beers, they do sport amazingly well.
Yeah NFL do it great. Ive been to two games. Both in Tampa, as i support them. in 2016 and 2017 was still at uni,
Tampa v Carolina
Tampa v Atlanta.
Seeing both a day time and night game was an experience both times. Was also there when they inducted Jon Gruden in the ring of honor. Great experience.
Sensational, LB. Would've been great at Tampa I bet.
Yeah agree, the Melbourne game looked promising, but the price is crazy.
If you ever get the chance, go to an NFL game. My wife said to me "Let's go to Melbourne for Rams v 49ers" i am like yeah nah, too expensive and since i have been to two games in USA, i am good. No need for me to spend that price.
But if you go, go to teams where their fan base isn't that high and they are average as a team. So Tampa, Jacksonville are two good places and are in Florida since it is warm pretty much all year round.
The first time in years we aren't playing Melbourne in round 1. It is almost like the NRL know Melbourne vs Parra in round 1 is a miss match and won't deliver a good game for an event like Vegas.
If that is the case why has the NRL kept giving Parra Melbourne first up the last few years considering the lopsided results and pathetic games they dish up.
Because the NRL don't care about Parra. They only care that their fans keep coming back for more punishment, which we invariably do. Melboure fans however must see their team be successful or they will switch off entirely. That's a massive risk for the NRL. I think they are also nervous about what a fully functional Parra side could be. With our CoE, huge fan base in a thriving city within a city, anything is possible. For now however we are kept just peeking out from under the rug, which keeps everytone happy.
