National Stadiums? Who needs 'em?

I disagree with the comment that the Sydney Olympic Stadium is run-down and unused. I have been to numerous sporting event out there this year including the Rugby Leauge double header, a couple of Sydney Swans AFL games, and a Rugby Union match or two. They have recently reduced the size to 80,000 down from 110,000, but say that is unused is wrong. In October next year it will host a hell of alot of Rugby Union games for the 2003 World Cup. Alot of teams from different sports who have thier own home ground such as the Sydney Cricket Ground or Sydney Football Stadium often play season openers or special matches out there as it is much easier to get to than alot of the other sporting venues in Sydney.
