AFL Records Second Highest Attendance Figures in League History
The ANZAC Round, including the traditional ANZAC Day clash between Collingwood and Essendon, also saw a number of club records broken, including:
- The highest attended AFL home-and-away round at the MCG of all-time – 292,311 fans across all four matches.
- The Geelong Cats vs Carlton Blues was Geelong’s highest attended AFL home-and-away home match, with a crowd of 87,775 fans.
- Essendon Bombers v Collingwood Magpies saw Essendon’s highest-ever ANZAC Day home crowd, with 93,644 fans attending.
- The highest attendance for a Greater Western Sydney home match at Manuka Oval since 2018, with 13,080 fans attending.
With two attendance records already broken just 2 months into the season, the AFL’s popularity and their ability to successfully engage their fanbase is going from strength-to-strength.
