    All things being equal, then both would be packed and it would be line ball.

    Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.

        We'll agree to disagree on that point. I've been at both (when packed) and in my opinion the SCG is far superior.

            Have to agree with Ern here. The atmosphere at the 96 and 05 final quarters were unsurpassed. The SCG pulsated on both nights. It is a much more enclosed ground and just reeks of history and drama. ANZ never really makes it. Awful ground.
            I was at both these games, and the atmosphere was great because of what was happening on the field.

            Having just come back from State Of Origin at Homebush, with more than 80,000 in attendance, I can tell you the atmosphere was just as good.

                I agree with you totally.

                    Fair enough.

                    I like both stadiums for different reasons.

                    Even when we had 20,000 last year at ANZ in the final the atmosphere was better than we had at the SCG all year!

                    I think we have to get away from traditional bias due to distance from home etc, and appreciate ANZ and SCG for the positives they both offer our club.
