The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Kurt Angle]

Are the dolphins even a “Brisbane“ team?

Well for me, team 17 was always going to be another Brisbane side

The Dolphins beat out other Brisbane bids to win. I'd say they won the "we will be the 2nd Brisbane side" bid.

 

[Vee]

The Qld Government won't fund it, and I doubt Brisbane City Council would have the finances to (and that's assuming Kayo falls into its jurisdiction). Kayo Stadium is not an NRL standard facility for regular game play.

It'd be in Moreton Bay council, wouldn't it?

This was always my worry about the dolphins becoming the Brisbane version of manly sea eagles.

Luckily they play over 80% of their games out a venue widely regarded as the best Rugby League stadium worldwide

They do but unless they are playing the broncos their crowds look just slightly better than the Queensland reds.

At Lang Park, Dolphins average 27041 with the Broncos games and 24248 without.

Reds averaged 14,797 at Lang Park last year.

60k+ or whatever they can get Suncorp to without a total rebuild would be enough to try and snag a Grand Final in theory. It would require the QLD Government to overbid NSW by a fair bit obviously but not out of the realms of possibility. Superbowl was at a 65k stadium last year.

As for the Dolphins, there is a huge opportunity for them to target the overflow from the Broncos who are not only selling out most games but charging quite a lot to get there.

The best thing to get action by the NSW government on Accor is for Brisbane to steal the GF on a regular basis.

100% correct about Broncos overflow. Dolphins also offer fans in Brisbane who support non-Brisbane teams a second opportunity to see their club. You see it in the averages for away teams: Warriors (33.8k), Cowboys (29.7k), Roosters (28k), Storm (27.1k), Rabbitohs (21.8k).

The best chance would be if the nrl actually followed through on its threat and opened it up to tender. Nsw govt know they won’t.

$300 million for this?
What an appalling use of money. An absolutely shocking rebuild.

Isn’t the new stadium in Christchurch the same amount of money to build?

 

[Ian Douglas]

Warriors need a upgraded mt smart capacity of around 30k-35k ASAP.

also that $300 million would have been better spent building a new 26k stadium for the tigers and bulldogs to share in Liverpool.

 

[Suitman]

Isn’t the new stadium in Christchurch the same amount of money to build?

No. That is a $NZ600 million build.

 

[Diesel]

It'd be in Moreton Bay council, wouldn't it?

Yep.
Kayo is in the City of Moreton Bay LGA

I'm kind of glad they didn't do anything to the ends. It allows them to do something in the future that increases the capacity.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

It'd be in Moreton Bay council, wouldn't it?

Yes, it is. Usually its the state gov that funds stadium upgrades though but Kayo is owned entirely by Redcliffe RLC so i dont know how much appetite there would be to tip public money into it

 

[SirPies&Beers]

doesnt matter if stadium is owned privately. state gov has poured cash into it in the past. no reason it cant happen again i guess.

$5M isnt much to write home about and its a far cry from tipping in $100Ms to upgrade the capacity

Look it's miles better than what they had but it shows just how shit things are in this country when in the space of 7-8 years, $300 odd mil used to get you this

point/question was with kayo being privately owned would local gov put money into it. answer is yes, they already did.

the amount value of how much theoretical commitment is another question all together.
