The introduction of AAMI Stadium to Australian sports grounds has got me thinking. Which code/club has the greatest home atmosphere? Some of you more familiar with other codes, teams and their home grounds will be able to put their own suggestions in.
AFL, League, Union, Football, Cricket all have their domestic seasons, and forgetting finals footy for the moment, or internationals, the Melbourne Victory fans at AAMI Stadium would be hard to beat, if not in numbers, certainly in atmosphere and passion.
Only 13,000 were in the ground for last weekend’s game against the North Queensland Fury. but the noise and passion pouring down from the stands had me wondering what would it be like when they get on a roll and fill the thing.
Of course, it helped that the game was a belter, which begs the question: does the atmosphere make the game or the game/stadium make the atmosphere?
The stands are close to the pitch – almost British perhaps – ensuring the pace of the game is lifted, possibly, by the energy of the fans.
Watch out for the Melbourne Derby in October. What will that be like?
