Precambrian Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 My best friend was there attending the match. He said it's just un describable, the atmosphere and the feeling. The moment when Tendulkar was shown on big screen, people just went bonkers, Tendulkar biggest fan (the clean shaved guy with India tattoos) was aloo there

They have seen lots f matches in Aus and said that this was better than almost anything they have seen down under ever. Totally incredible atmosphere.
Sachinism Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Indian fans absolutely owned MCG. Brilliant atmosphere.
profster Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 This is a new India. Young, confident and relatively affluent. We are the third home team in the tournament. Imagine MCG for the finals if India makes it and Australia don't
MCGGG Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 This is the G at near full capacity, the chant is Collingwood, collingwood are the biggest sporting club in Australia, the MCG is our home ground. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ogPt5POUTPA

brendan07 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Was at the game, was a great crowd. That is the max you will get at the MCG minus the Final. Great atmosphere.

G_B_ Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 For cricket' date=' cricket is a secondary sport in Melbourne, and ticket prices for the final aren't exactly cheap.[/quote'] so whichsport is the major sport in Melbourne?
MCGGG Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 so whichsport is the major sport in Melbourne? This sport. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s1aU0hz5Tf8 It's Aussie rules, boys become men playing it.
G_B_ Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 This sport. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s1aU0hz5Tf8 It's Aussie rules, boys become men playing it. looks like a dumbed down version of rugby league
MCGGG Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 looks like a dumbed down version of rugby league Lol, it's completely different to any form of rugby, there's no offside and if you want the ball you have to go and get it, one way or another, it makes RL look like a pansy sport, that's why per capita the AFL is the 3rd most watched football comp in the world.

Based on that logic the Gaelic games in Ireland would be number 1.

ANZAC Day at the MCG has got high 90,000 too most years too. The CWC Final isn't too bad at $175. My RWC Final was double that

Sorry, I meant to say on averages it's the 3rd most attended comp in the world, beaten only by the EPL and the NFL..
