Victoria Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton signed off on the plan on Thursday afternoon, raising the stadium’s capacity from 75 per cent to 85 per cent.
If the Essendon-Collingwood match goes ahead at 85 per cent capacity, it will break the world record for the largest crowd at a sporting match since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other stadiums have also had their capacity increased, including John Cain Arena and AAMI Park.
