The case for and against each state’s bid for the AFL grand final – The Age
Later this week – after bids from four states and negotiations involving the AFL, Victorian government and MCC – the venue for the 2020 AFL grand final will be announced.
Western Australia
Venue: Optus Stadium
COVID-19 crowd cap: 30,000 if the grand final is held on October 17, possibly more if it’s October 24 (normal capacity is 60,000).
Last weekend Fremantle vs Sydney was played before a crowd of 24,714 on Saturday, and 27,339 were in the house for West Coast vs GWS on Sunday.
Quarantine? Yes. Anyone travelling to WA for the game, including players and officials, still have to quarantine for 14 days.
They can do that at a “hub” and have special permission…
