It’s been a big weekend of women’s sport, with the AFLW drawing closer and closer to the grand final, and the Super Netball heating up. To top it off, Adele is likely to have an impact on round one of the AFL, and footy fans aren’t happy.
Adele might affect the first round of the AFL.
While hundreds of thousands of fans are having once-in-a-lifetime experiences seeing Adele’s performances all over Australia, the AFL has a serious concern.
Next weekend, Adele performs at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne on Saturday and Sunday night, in the middle of the stadium. But just days later, St Kilda and Melbourne play at the ground in one of the most talked-about round one clashes of the AFL. There’s some talk about whether the surface will be damaged as a result of the concerts.
On March 10, Fremantle and Carlton played in Perth’s Domain Stadium just over a week after Adele’s performances, and the grass was noticeably patchy. It was the single biggest concert Perth has ever seen.
