Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[Gary Gutful]

Lol, there's some sarcasm detectors in need of a service on this forum...

There are some sarcasm generators which are rooted as well...

Can we fix those too?

Cool!

Cool!

Actual stadium construction still hasn't received final approval yet.

These works are just the stage one approval of demolition, earthworks and pile driving.

Is the new stadium still going to face the same way as the old one?

Yep. It will just move closer a bit closer to O'Connell St.

This was the artist's impression from last year. The final design might look different but I assume the siting/orientation of the stadium wont change.

Suity will correct me if I have gotten that wrong.

Just going back through some of the old stories and seeing some of the images/artist's impressions has gotten me pretty excited again.

So Chiefy has pulled another scoop out of somewhere and is telling all on other platforms that the stadium is due to open after round 18 in 2019...

Wonder who has a better idea of the timeline? Bernie Gurr or Chiefy?

@chiefy1 throwing darts again ?

Boys - trust me - the stadium won't be open for the start of the 2019 season.

It's going to be after the middle part of that season, most likely in the latter half. Rounds 16 - 26.

I know this for a fact.

Where's the bernie article anyway ?

Everyone knows this already Einstein.

Spot on with all of that Gaz.
And the pic you posted is pretty much the latest design, so that's just about how it should look when complete.
In the aerial earthworks photo I posted above, you can see the L-shaped south-east corner already in position at the top just left of centre of the photo.
Then when you look at your pic, it's actually a pretty tight fit on the site, having a reasonably large O'Connell st forecourt and squeezing it between that and the Old Kings Oval.
It's no wonder they needed the old swimming pool space.
