In 1999, the Sydney Olympic Stadium hosted its inaugural event, drawing an impressive crowd of 104,583 spectators to a Rugby League match. Following the Olympics, the stadium’s large end grandstands were shortened, resulting in a reduced seating capacity.

  1. That’s an impressive turnout for the first event at the Sydney Olympic Stadium! The atmosphere must have been electric with that many fans in attendance. It’s interesting to see how stadiums evolve after major events like the Olympics—reducing capacity can often improve the overall fan experience, making it feel more intimate. Do you remember which teams played in that match?
