This weekends activity was attending an AFL footy game at the affectionately named "Gabba" named after the local suburb of Woolloongabba. The Gabba,or the Brisbane Cricket Ground, is an oval, and was build specifically for Cricket and Aussie Rules Football with the first cricket match played on the grounds in 1896. The dimensions of the playing field are now 170.6 metres by 149.9 metres to accommodate the playing of Australian Football at elite level and the seating capacity of the ground is now 42,000.
