Football fanatics, take a deep breath.

The accommodation platform is letting an AFL fan win a sleepover at the Sydney Cricket Ground -- home of the Sydney Swans -- on April 17.

If you find yourself singing "Up There For Sydney" at inappropriate moments during family gatherings, this one is for you, old timer. The sweet prize includes flights to Sydney and one beautiful night in a converted VIP suite overlooking the iconic ground, which has been tastefully decorated with every single piece of Swans paraphernalia.

The goodies don't stop there. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to watch a private showing of a Swans game on the big screen, you will soon know. Afterwards, take a tour of the SCG before sitting down to dinner in the Member's Pavilion with Swans legends Jude Bolton and Nick Davis.

We are imagining it will be like Night at the Museum, but with the ghosts of football walking the halls. If you haven't lost your mind yet, hold onto your Swans 2012 premiership cap, there is even more.

In the morning, you can avoid a ball in the head with a personal kick-to-kick on the turf and then settle in for Round 3 against Great Western Sydney from your new home's balcony. It will feel almost as good as taking home the Holy Grail.

The only thing missing is Plugger. And if you don't know what that means, don't bother with the 25 word application. It is clear you are not their biggest fan.
