'The Sydney Swans v Collingwood AFL match at Telstra Stadium on Saturday 23 August 2003 set an attendance record for the largest crowd to watch an AFL game outside of Victoria with 72,393 spectators (near capacity) attending and was the largest home-and-away AFL crowd at any Australian stadium for 2003.'

The largest home & away crowd was a Carlton home game in round 20, 2000 – 91,571. (Although the reference is a story about a Carlton-Essendon match, and may just be referring to matches between these two clubs. Being two of the clubs with the largest memberships, and given the capacity of football stadiums, this is probably close to the, if not the, largest.)
