    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Sewage pipes can be moved, just adds cost. If the team manages to get regular sell outs in the future, that makes the case for an increase much easier.

    It could be expanded on the northern end with a road acquisition, it’s a pretty quiet road and not many driveways.

    New stadium - 2025

    25k is the right capacity, any bigger and you risk losing atmosphere. We averaged almost 19k this year, that still leaves plenty of room to grow but also retain a good atmosphere for the leaner years.

    New stadium - 2025

    So the majority of Parra fans want the old stadium, but the crowds improved in the new stadium? Maybe the majority haven’t got a clue on how to run a footy team? Honestly, some of the stuff I’m reading in here is comical.

    Penrith has been a swing seat both state and federally for decades, hasn’t gotten us the money until now. No responsible management would reject the offer on the table.

    New stadium - 2025

    The improved corporate areas of the updated stadium are what guarantees the future. Having on field success is huge, but you need to be able to capitalise on that. Modern teams make a lot of money through corporate support. As for waiting until a better option comes along, that’s a huge risk...

    Not worthless. The final design might be a little different, but this is what it will generally look like.

    New stadium - 2025

    No, but my guess is around 5000. Going off the pictures the capacity at the southern end actually looks reduced. So there’s 3000 extra capacity, plus another couple of thousand extra seats to make up for the reduced capacity at the southern end. The new western stand looks a lot bigger than...

    New stadium - 2025

    The former government didn’t sell it properly. Everyone heard $600m for a stadium, but they should’ve sold it as a complete development. Still, this stadium upgrade secures the future of the team for the next 30-40 years, that’s good news.

    No it’s not. Look closer, the concert stage is on the field. The shed is a food/drink outlet, like it is currently.

    You can’t really build a grandstand at the northern end, most you could do is terraced seating. That could easily be added at a future date for not too much cost. There’s 20k seats down the sides of the field, that’s the main vantage points anyway.

    No, that stage is on the field.

    New stadium - 2025

    I reckon people will feel differently once they attend the new venue. More toilets, more food outlets, better viewing angles, more weather protection. Importantly for the health of the club this will include improved corporate boxes as well. People are really hard to please, this is a massive...

    Those were new builds, this is an upgrade. You simply can’t build a new stadium for $300m anymore. Plus this particular site has issues at the southern and northern ends. I think it’s pretty good all things considered.

    first image of the proposed redevelopment of Penrith (from the Tele) looks like there will be a new eastern stand after all southern end looks a bit weird, but I suppose a small terrace could be added at a later date. Overall I like it.
