Great day and thats because it wasnt run by the woke AFL. It was run by the NFL.
security check point near the punt road oval then you can basically do what you want. Go inside grab beers and just walk around the g and gather in groups and sink beers for as long as you like.
The atmosphere was much like the world cup. By the end people were throwing stuff off the higher levels as if it was 1988. All innocent but in the afl season you would have 20,000 people arrested.
