49ers ransack 'Rams House' in epic Melbourne NFL show
Much was made of the Melbourne Cricket Ground being 'Rams House' for the week, but after arriving earlier than their fancied rivals the San Francisco 49ers ran away with the chocolates as the NFL put on a show for the ages.
A staggering 100,021 fans attended the NFL Melbourne match between the LA Rams and San Francisco 49ers, making it the seventh-most attended regular season game of all time. The record-breaking attendance only falls 5,000 short of the attendance set at Cowboys Stadium in 2009. This monumental crowd filled the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), leaving some lower-level spectators disappointed with their view of the pitch, which was oddly placed in the center of the oval-shaped ground.
Despite the high ticket prices for lower-level seats, many fans expressed dissatisfaction with the limited field view.
