Done. 27% for us when I did it, only Princes Optus Visy MC Labour Ikon Oval Park with 37%.

Done. There has been plenty of discussion on this board which has been great, even if it is a pipe dream it is one of my favourite things to think about.

Me too. Would be great to have Whitten Oval as the 3rd botique stadium.

Re: Vote #1 Whitten oval
Princes Park is godawful, but I kind of enjoyed our games there in 97/98. I lived in Flemington at the time, used to walk to the games through Royal Park golf course and the zoo. Very enjoyable.

Really? I can't remember another time where we won so many games.
Some of the standouts were in 97 where we played Geelong in a top of the table clash, the scores were level at 3/4 time, Geelong kicked the first goal of the last quarter, and instead of folding we kicked the next 5 goals and won by 20odd points.
Hawthorn level at 3/4 only for us to run out 46 point winners.
Belting Carlton with Chris Grant kicking 4 goals and racking up nearly 30 touches with the crowd around us counting them out loud after the Carlton supporter stood up and called Grant a dud after Michael Sexton marked the first clearance of the match.
Factor in you could see much better than Whitten Oval and they were some pretty great days.

Ah, no. The actual venue, I can't stand the joint.
