The Rabbitohs are pressuring the state government for a return to Allianz Stadium, a move many Souths fans believe is long overdue.
The team initially left for financial reasons, yet their desire to remain was based on anticipated upgrades to the Olympic Stadium-a situation that has since changed.
While major events like Origin night and sold-out concerts still draw crowds, these occasions are infrequent.
The in-stadium experience may be enjoyable on event days, but the overall experience often falls short.
The buildup and aftermath of games are disappointing due to limited options for pre- and post-game activities.
The train platform remains unupgraded since the Olympics, causing congestion and frustration.
Additionally, it took 19 years for the precinct to recognize the need for a second pub outside, showing a lack of foresight in accommodating large crowds.
Ultimately, the atmosphere is lacking, whether the stadium is busy or empty.
On quieter game days, such as when Souths face the Titans with only a few thousand attendees, the stadium feels desolate.
In light of these factors, the campaign to bring the Rabbitohs back home to Allianz Stadium gains more supporters.
