The hill wouldnt be open, afair the total capacity is capped so you could only have pitch level seating up to the capacity of the hill (about 13000)

Ah balls you serious? Was watching that Mcgregor effect thing and they said if it was in Croke Park it would break the 55,000 attendance record. 13,000 isnt quite the same as 80,000

The pitch/hill holds 13 thousand. The 3 stands hold another 67000

Yeah, the total capacity would be 82300, just instead of having people on the hill they'd be on the pitch.

45 mins to weigh ins

expecting it to be explosive

The place is full already. Twitter is full of pictures of all the irish, one video showing the incredible lenght of the line waiting outside. Can't imagine how overwhelming it must be to be in the crowd.

Guys, here's something I created with a startup I work with. It's a social hub with loads of UFC 189 content. Get a real sense of the atmosphere looking at the pictures coming in!

It's not as good as being there, sadly, but hopefully a few find it interesting to view.

If Conor beats Mends. When is his title shot against Aldo likely to be?

Would love to go to Vegas for it ......

lads,will the weigh in just show up live on youtube or what,nothing about it now?

Axwell

It will start once they start the broadcast, the timer is only a guide sometimes it can be a few mins late. Its not due till midnight here though.

Kenny Florian tweeted and then very quickly deleted that something happened backstage at the weigh ins, saying that tempers flared.

No names mentioned, but my money is on Rory MacDonald :pac:

Dana is a totally reliable person, he's always honest.

Not sure why that would cause trouble though.
