    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    The QSAC $1.6B option is ridiculous. Just add that amount the the $1B for Suncorp/Gabba, spend half on each and for $1.3b you can increase Suncorp to 60k, and build a new stand at the west and of the Gabba to fit in an athletics track and push the capacity back over 40k. Better for everyone.

    Given the AFL own Docklands/Marvel, I doubt the will be triggered. Like last year, they will just collect the cash. Plus the won’t move the stands in during the AFL season so pass on that. Given that they don’t play AFL finals at Marvel, if the AFL would allow the stands to be moved in, a...

    There will likely be a change of government later in the year and another review into the Olympic spend. So, nobody knows.

    The Las Vegas Thread

    There is no end game for Vegas. If you measure if by results in the US, it will be a failure. It is simply a brilliant promotional tool for the NRL season in Aus/NZ. General interest and crowds would not be up as much this season without all of the goodwill and publicity generated by the Vegas...

    For the Olympics will be a refurb not a rebuild. New amenities, media, corporate, catering, lighting, sound, access, etc. Similar to what just occurred at Marvel plus squeezing in a few new seats where you can without too much structural work. Same as the Gabba is getting.

    Wouldn’t like to be running in lane 7 or 8. Surely if they are putting stands over the athletics track you might as well move it to an oval somewhere? Or are these just very poor renders?

    Paper here reporting 50% of tickets sold for MCG SOO. 18% from Qld and 13% from NSW. Storm have released a $59 membership that includes SOO and one Storm game. https://experience.melbournestorm.com.au/membership/soo-membership

    18th club, whose next?

    There is also no obvious delineation in Melbourne. Some cities have a natural divide between east and west, or north and south (the second AFL club in Sydney should have been north of the harbour). So where would you place a second club and who would follow them? Best to get the whole city...

    18th club, whose next?

    I hope Melbourne never gets a second team. I love that the whole town is now behind the Storm. 15 years ago it was Victory, and we certainly don’t want another Melbourne City or Western United. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

    We’ve got Cat 1 tickets tonight ($85 adult). Front of second level. First 10 rows mostly sold the back 10 empty - those should be much cheaper.

    Peter V'landys - New NRL/ARLC Chairman

    I am not sure what you are trying to get at. The question asked was - NRL pays clubs $85m total over the salary cap, how much does the AFL pay? My answer, that payments to clubs is variable, is correct, and that the total amount at the AFL pays above the salary cap is also correct. Add it up...

    Strange reply. That is what my post said. You just went into more detail.

    Hallelujah brother. In past years none of my mates or their kids have been interested, but things are changing. Six of us going this Friday. Will be another bumper crowd if the weather holds.

    The AFL cap is around $13.5m. AFL distribution is variable. The strong clubs (about half the league) get less than that but the other half get up to double that (Suns, GWS, St Kilda). All up also around $80m - $90m above the cap.
