I am thinking I'll head north for the Suns match next month.

Can anyone on demonland suggest the best seating areas at People's First Stadium?

Also, does anyone (WCW perhaps) know the area that has been assigned to the MFC contingent?

    If you go on the Demon Army website closer to round 23, the ticketing details for the match will be posted.  We normally sit behind the goal posts (at the end where there is no built up stands, but lots of sun).  WCW will probs know more exact details!

    I went up a few years ago, didnt sit with the cheer squad cos had some Queenslanders with me. 
     

    Small stadium so most seats are pretty good IMO

    We sit in bay 148 behind the goals. Nearest entry is Gate 7

    Yep, I agree. Good seating.

    Love the fact once you're in the gates, there's plenty of green space to sit and relax and an oval to kick a footy 

    Last time we went, we sat on the grass and played cards, drank beers and wandered up to our seats about 2 minutes before the game started

    Bay 207 is the best available bay you can get (208-210 are best seats but are Gold Coast reserved bays). 207/206/205 will likely be full and will be 90% melbourne. I will at the very least be in 207.

    I think me and a few others are in bay 104. We have sat around there a few times before.

    I’ve sat at the cheer squad once and got my 4 drinks before the first bounce to be told I can’t bring them in 😬 so if you like a Bev id sit somewhere else

    Are we talking about Carrara Stadium?

    I steadfastly refuse to call footy grounds [insert current sponsor's name here].

    Almost as crazy as playing footy on a cricket ground!

    Surely People’s First Stadium is situated in Pyongyang, North Korea?

    I love the fact that you don’t have to leave the ground in order to have a cigarette. Moreover, they have a designated smoking area(!) If I’m to hasten my demise, I’d rather do so with the greatest of ease. 😊

    Imagine if McDonald's sponsored our hallowed home ground and called it the McG.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
