They wish!!

Surely they can build an archgola over the tin, maybe one of those mitre 10 louvres.

 

[newc18]

Has Vegas moved much / anything ?

I do wonder if the issues going on over there has caused some people to decide not to travel over there.

 

[Barney Stubble]

The next expansion has to be NZ2 based out of Wellington, it would be criminal to not have a NRL team full time based in that new stadium.

the new stadium is in Christchurch

 

[beave]

the new stadium is in Christchurch

yeah and I acknowledged that further down after it being pointed out 3 times chief.

Mate, new stadiums in Christchurch.

 

[Ashburn]

Bra, did anyone point out that da the new stadium is in Christchurch at all?

 

[i0Nic]

Anyone wanna provide an estimate on Vegas ticket sales?

 

[T to the T]

2022 average attendance was 16,248
2025 average attendance was 21,418

Is 25k a realistic target in the next couple of years?

Nope

Where’s the growth going to come from?

More event games / souths doing well will give a bump but not that much

Yeah, we're running into some ceilings, Mt Smart, Suncorp (for Broncos), Brookvale, etc.
I'll be impressed if we match the current average for the next season or three.

For sure, but it would rely on
- broncos sorting out their ticketing situation so that a “sell out” is closer to 52,000 and not 44,000
- overflow broncos fans going to dolphins games
- dogs being in form
- souths actually pulling a crowd at Homebush
- new Penrith Stadium being a h
- shark park’s capacity being increased
- less games at smaller venues: looking at you Kayo, Belmore, Bathurst, etc

 

[Barney Stubble]

25K?
no, not the next few years no but certainly by 2035 I can see it.
Upgrades for the smaller venues used in NSW , protection from the weather is the key here , a better
balance & use of Commbank & Allianz
WIN will become state of the art & Newcastle should too with stands at either end instead of hills
Penriths new stadium , Suncorps upgrade
That wanker Barr being removed from Govt & Canberra finally getting a new rectangle indoor venue

yep
it'll happen

Penrith will return to 20k average, Parramatta and Titans will jump with a performing side as will the Dolphins but you're right, 25k is a stretch.

Shark f**ken park.

Dogs could get to 40k
Dolphins to 30k
Shark park back to 18k
And yeh as you say Penrith with the new stadium I think over 20k
Souths back to Allianz in 2029 so not two years should get them to 25k

Maybe wahs take a game to Eden park and storm mcg / Etihad

Dragons taking two home games to Allianz is good too

I think 2030 is a better chance for over 25k unless Newcastle, gong and Brookie get upgrades

Gong is getting upgraded

 

[Ian Douglas]

Gong is getting upgraded

But is the capacity increasing?

 

[Ian Douglas]

Is HBF park getting an upgrade/increase capacity?

 

[Wb1234]

But is the capacity increasing?

Marginally

Even so probably five years away

 

[Gobsmacked]

But is the capacity increasing?

More so the ability to attract patrons
