Seriously regardless of who you see it is a spectacle that would be hard to match anywhere in the world.

A match at the MCG us not to be missed regardless of who is playing and a close match will leave you excited until the very last second.
I would agree with that, PROVIDED it is a match which draws a reasonable crowd. 36,000 for Richmond v Sydney Easter 2007 made the place feel really empty, not much of an atmosphere.

Then watch how quickly they can get the people away with the trams and trains.
Pffft, that is nothing, check out ANZ Stadium in Sydney, we get rid of our crowds FAR more efficiently than either the MCG OR Telstra Dome (which is an absolute JOKE at dispersing crowds after the game - the bridge to Southern Cross is WAY too narrow).
