In 1999, the Sydney Olympic Stadium hosted its inaugural event, attracting a crowd of 104,583 for a Rugby League match. Following the Olympics, the large end grandstands were shortened, resulting in a reduced capacity for future events.

One thought on “104,583 attend a Rugby League game at the Sydney Olympic Stadium in 1999 – The stadium’s first ever event. The massive end grandstands were shortened after the Olympics, reducing capacity.”

  1. That’s an impressive turnout for the first event at the Sydney Olympic Stadium! It must have been electric to see over 100,000 fans in attendance for a Rugby League game. It’s interesting to think about how the stadium was initially designed to host such large crowds, but later changes reduced its capacity. Do you know how many spectators it can hold now?
