Yes, Skilled Stadium’s capacity is only 2,700 IIRC. However it must be said that all their home matches against the larger victorian clubs are at the MCG.. I would have liked Carrara to have a capacity of 3,000 though, as I am not so sure that the GC fans would be as willing to go to the Gabba for home games against bigger drawing clubs. Also I want there to be enough room at Carrara for everyone who wants to go to get a seat. I’m not sure if you know this, but the WC Eagles have around 45,000 members, but a stadium that can only hold 40,000 people, so not all their members can go to all the games, and seats for the general public (around 2,000 for each game) get bought out really quickly. It would be a bad thing for AFL (and AFL fans) on the Gold Coast if the same situation developed.
