Apparently, there was a 5 minute Australian Football match staged in Denver, Colorado during the halftime of an Association Football match recently. The potential audience was ~ 13,000. More info/picture(s) here.

I think such promotions of the sport, taking advantage of an already assembled crowd is a great idea.

Thanks for that, Chandu. Looks like it was a fairly decent exposure.

And AndyMead took some pictures as well...

This from the linked thread...

Looks oddly like the Western Bulldogs vs. Melbourne. :D

Wonder if he and/or Wade took more photos of the halftime event...
