In 1999, the Sydney Olympic Stadium hosted its inaugural event, drawing a crowd of 104,583 for a Rugby League match. Following the Olympics, the stadium’s grandstands were reduced in size, which decreased its overall capacity.

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 incredible turnout for the first event at the Sydney Olympic Stadium! It’s amazing how such a significant occasion attracted over 104,000 fans. The atmosphere must have been electric. It’s interesting to note that the stadium’s capacity was later reduced after the Olympics; I wonder how that affected the attendance for future events. Do you have any favorite memories or highlights from that game?
