- AFL game (Sydney vs Eddendon) -

Telstra Stadium (Olympic Stadium from the 2000 Sydney Olympics).

The game is played on a giant oval field, 2-3 times larger than an American football field.

The players are in almost constant motion.

Kicking, throwing, and bouncing a large football-like game ball to each other.

You have to kick the ball through the goalposts at the end of the filed - 6 points for the taller ones, 1 point for the smaller

Nice interior region of the stadium next to the multiple bars and consession areas

Outside the stadium on the ramp

Olympic Park

Light structure

Very modern look to it

Here's the train station from Sydney Central

I think this is Aussie Stadium (used now for cricket matches)

More of Olympic Park

Giant statue of a runner

After the game, the crowd can go on the field and play some "footy" of their own

Apparently this statue was on top of Sydney Tower during the Olympics

Stadium from the outside

The large circular ramp is used as a catchment system for water which is used to water the field after it rains
