We are also likely to see crowds improve in the post-Christmas period as there are no more games at Geelong, one more at Canberra (played last night) and one in Coffs Harbour, with every other game being played at each team’s primary home ground.

Pre-Christmas #BBL15 update:
Scorchers v Sixers at Perth: 26,823
Renegades v Heat at Geelong: 10,043
Hurricanes v Thunder at Bellerive: 6,217
Sixers v Strikers at SCG: 20,110
Stars v Hurricanes at MCG: 19,034
Heat v Scorchers at Gabba: 24,277
Last season’s pre-Christmas average was 17,450 meaning the crowd at Manuka would have to be over 11,140 to beat this, however it is still comfortably bigger than any pre-Christmas period since 2017.
#BBL15 Game 2 tonight with the Renegades hosting the Heat at GMHBA Stadium, Geelong.
The average crowd at Geelong before Christmas is just 8,784 so hopefully that can be comfortably beaten tonight.

#BBL is back!
#BBL15 kicks off tonight with the Scorchers hosting the Sixers at Optus/Perth Stadium.
Last year the Scorchers broke the crowd record for a season opener with 30,469. Can they beat that tonight?
JUST IN: Tonight’s KFC #BBL14 ‘The Qualifier’ has been sold out, with the League’s largest ever Finals crowd in Hobart set to turn Ninja Stadium purple. 🙌
