More than 85,000 fans flocked to the MCG for the Round 1 clash between Richmond and Carlton in 2019.

The Tiger Army loves a challenge so the Club thought it should share its home game crowd targets for season 2023.

“We set ourselves stretch targets for our home games each season,” CEO Brendon Gale said. “Why should they be kept in-house? We thought our supporters would like to know what success looks like from a crowd perspective.”

“Most importantly, big crowds lift our players. It can make a genuine difference in games. Secondly, big crowds keep our Club financially strong and that enables us to keep investing in our football programs. It’s cyclical in many ways.”

“Our message to fans is that every time you turn up to watch the Tigers you are making us stronger on and off the field. If our members and fans can help us hit the targets below it would be an outstanding result.”
