The oval shape of the MCG, as opposed to the parallel flanks of Telstra, creates the illusion that the action at the MCG is taking place in another postcode.cam wrote:Where would you rather be sitting for a Soccer match? (assuming you're sitting on the wing. Up the very top of Telstra or MCG?
However, if you were at the very top of the MCG you'd be a few rows closer to the middle of the pitch than you would at the top of Telstra.
At least at Telstra Stadium you don't have to look at acres of grass either side on the playing field!
My choice... Telstra Stadium.

Along the length of the stadium it wouldn't drop far below the height of the northern stand, if at all, would it?Waz wrote:My choice - MCG - Telstra only holds a height higher than the new MCG Northernstand for a fraction of it's length on either side, while the new Northern Stand will hold it's height for over half of the MCG's Perimeter...

[quote]It just shows if Telstra Stadium was exclusively an oval for cricket and football...over 125,000 seated easily with that stand around the ground if not more...it seems double the size of the MCG. [/quote]
An interesting comparison would be to compare the cross-sections of various grandstands and determine which would be the largest capacity if an entire stadium were of that design. Or, to put it another way, if the cross-section was only one seat wide, which one would have the most seats?
My guess, from biggest to smallest, would be:
1. Waverley Park Members Stand
2. Telstra Stadium Northern and Southern Stands (77 rows on the top level during the Olympics)
3. Telstra Stadium at the highest point on the wings
4. MCG Olympic Stand (original design, before the boxes were installed)
5. MCG Ponsford Stand
6. MCG New Northern Stand
7. MCG Great Southern Stand
8. MCG Old Southern Stand
9. Football Park Nothern Stand
10. Football Park Members Stand
11. Subiaco Three-level stand
12. Suncop Stadium new stands
13. Waverley Park outer
14. Telstra Dome
15. Subiaco Two-level stands
16. Gabba
17. Football Park outer

Approx Seating capacities at Telstra Stadium:
Lower Bowl : 46,000
Middle Levels/Boxes : 14,000
Upper Deck: 23,000
Interesting to see that the lower deck only at Telstra exceeds the capacity of the SCG
Not sure on MCG,but my guess.....
Lower Level: 30,000
Middle Level/Boxes : 15,000
Upper Deck: 55,000
Anyone got figures?
