Along with the warmer, drier temps, you'll see larger crowds.

    I think the refurb schedule for Feb. is pretty light right now. In May you'll miss Pirates.

    Here is a link to show average temps and attendance. Its not very accurate during the 50th, but will still give you an idea. <a href="http://www.scottware.com.au/theme/feature/crowds.htm" target="_blank">http://www.scottware.com.au/th
