 St George Illawarra's Minor Premiership celebrations in front of a sell-out crowd at WIN Jubilee Oval on Sunday night ended a 2010 Telstra Premiership regular season that recorded the highest attendance in Rugby League history. The crowd of 18,274 took the total regular season attendance for the 2010 Telstra Premiership to 3,151,039, smashing the previous record of 3,081,874 set last year.
It is just the fourth time in history that regular season attendances have surpassed three million. "What an exciting finish to the regular season. Once again it came down to the final match and it's a fitting way to launch into a Telstra Premiership Finals Series that promises to be as enthralling and unpredictable as the race for the top eight has been," NRL Chief Executive, Mr David Gallop, said on Sunday night.
