The buzz in the air as the punters flooded into the new Sydney Football Stadium was unmistakable.
Eager fans lined up at the stadium gates and the queues were long and deep as they waited impatiently to be a part of history.
Desperate fans wanders around outside, holding up handmade signs saying "Tickets Wanted" in an effort to be part of it. Everybody who's anybody on the rugby league scene was there because they had to be there. A stadium can only open once.
