It's a valid question... it is an anomaly that is exacerbated when there are two interstate sides playing. And don't give me this 'spiritual home of football' bullshit. That's marketing claptrap that doesn't mean anything to people outside of Victoria anyway (i.e half the teams in the AFL).

 

That said, it is the best solution at the moment, because the MCG is still the best ground with the biggest capacity.

 

But Sydney has Homebush, Perth will soon have a 60,000 seat stadium with the potential to go out to 70,000, so there is potential to change in the future. I would hate to see a Dockers/Eagles or Adelaide/Port grand final at the MCG, filled with many neutrals.

 

In time, they should look taking it to other states/supporters, but that is still a long way off.
