The biggest crowd the AFL ever got at Stadium Australia was 72,000. It’s only happened a handful of times that they have had a crowd figure in excess of the SCG’s current capacity (48k). They’d be lucky to do it once per year. Most of the time when they hold a game there it would be about 50,000 at best. In their mind the AFL wants to hang on to ANZ for that one big game per year, or for a future sydney derby that draws a huge crowd. That’s a long way off, and it assumes the Giants will get popular.As for money for the Swans administration and training facilities, the AFL can pay for it themselves. What return does the taxpayer get for that?
