I was wondering the same thing about the crowds whether just haven't come back since COVID.
Last year's crowd was 27,459 but remember it was shocking weather which must have kept a lot of people away. Today was the first real test as to whether crowds have come back after Covid.
North vs Norwood in 2018 was 40,355, Glenelg vs Port in 2019 was 39,105, Sturt vs Port in 2017 was 39,813 and Port vs Norwood in 2014, 38,444.
I was expecting 40,000 today. Would have the warm weather kept some people away?
Even though the winning margin was 24 points, as a neutral I never thought Sturt were a threat. It felt like an 8 goal game and that would certainly impacted the atmosphere.

Cost of living is a major factor. As a neutral I wouldn’t be going, 8 beers and an entry ticket and I'm $130 in the hole. That's a tank of fuel.

That, or, port Nuffies trolling a game about crowd, atmosphere all week when they’re not involved.
Just remember, you get what you deserve.
Happily stand corrected if anyone else tuning in thought the atmosphere was amazing.
As for the crowd, it was disappointing. They hoped for 40,000 and fell short.
