It seems to me that both Hawks and (inexplicably) Cairns have been getting bigger crowds this year based solely on how their arenas look on TV, which is great."
I'd agree since Christmas, Angus, but I think the Hawks crowds looked poor early in the season.
Those 2 venues probably need to sell out games more often and average a higher percentage of seats sold, simply because they are smaller venues. Could Cairns and Illawarra try to sell sponsors or upmarket packages including catering, to value add and improve their profit margins? I’ve been to Gold Coast Suns games with those sorts of packages. Made for a nice experience.
