00:00This has been an experience like no other. This is the top of my bucket list.
00:03American football fever swept Melbourne as more than 100,000 fans packed the MCG today
00:09for the NFL's first ever regular season game on Aussie soil.
00:12Fans flew in from across the US to watch the LA Rams take on the 49ers
00:16with some forking out thousands of dollars to tick the trip off their bucket list.
00:20So I actually got in last night and I'm looking to do some touring tomorrow
00:25after we do our business as NFL agents.
00:28We got to go to the game, support our clients through the business piece.
00:31But first thing I want to do tomorrow, I want to see a kangaroo.
00:34I want to see some koalas and I want to see the March of the Penguins.
00:37I love, love, love Melbourne.
00:39This is just an exciting atmosphere to be in and I'm so excited that the NFL is here.
00:44I came in Tuesday.
00:46I actually did a Melbourne leg or what have you.
00:49I started out as Sydney for four days treating them on here.
00:52But it's been a bucket list.
00:54So I think the plane ticket was $1,200.
00:56Room and board is $400, so $1,600.
00:59So it went from $2,025, almost $3,000.
01:02On the field, Brock Purdy inspired a 27-7 upset win for San Francisco
01:06over the favoured Rams in front of the NFL's second highest international crowd ever recorded.
01:11The match is expected to inject $300 million into Victoria's economy.
01:15We got into the queue, I think I was $12,000 in the queue.
01:20By the time I got there, there were only $1,000 tickets remaining.
01:24I'm like, oh, I don't know.
01:27This has been an experience like no other.
01:29This is the top of my bucket list.
01:31Since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to come to Australia.
01:34And being able to watch my Rams and come to Australia at the same time
01:38and killing two birds with one stone, I love it.
01:45This is the top of my bucket list.
