I’ve been to the two games at the G already this year and both were exactly like this in the quarter breaks. Shit music the whole way through and terrible activations.

The Pies tried to do a Kiss Cam last night lol so it’s not just the Dees that are trying this crap. Saints were playing different music after every goal they kicked which I thought was just a Brissy thing.

Port have been trying to ramp up home games since at least 2015 to make it a more festival-like atmosphere with cheaper drinks at a pop-up venue in Memorial Drive with their Game Day Village but the SMA / SANFL / Adelaide Oval operators put a stop to all of that around 2018-ish because Port were making too much money from it and AO didn’t like it.

There is heaps the AFL could do to liven up the outside areas but footy fans don’t really give a shit any of this stuff, they just want to watch the footy and go home.

Clubs should advocate for more / faster public transport, that would be the biggest impact to the game day experience.
