Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Steve Avila says he is excited to play in Australia and at Melbourne’s MCG in front of a large crowd. The comments come ahead of the first-ever NFL game held in the country.

The outlets agree that Avila is looking forward to the atmosphere created by the anticipated attendance of 100,000 fans. They also present the event as a milestone for the NFL’s expansion into Australia, framing his remarks as part of the broader pre-match build-up.

While all sources focus on the same quotation and location, they emphasize it slightly differently: the reporting is largely promotional in tone, but the core information is consistent—Avila is scheduled to take part in the historic match at the MCG, with a crowd expected to reach 100,000 people.
