The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Mr Angry]

Mentioned on Nein the grandstands block any breeze that would take the dew away.

So that is it, bring your skates?

Glad there is some explanation, but geez 4 gazillion to have blokes slipping over....but the lights pretty.

It is ok, surely we come up with a solution as Aussies maybe canetoads......

I think the Pirates would probably only use it for semi-finals.

They currently have a very decent 21,000 seat stadium, which with a future upgrade will be in the 25,000 range. Perfect for an NRL team week-to-week.

Yep Bankwest Park will be our home if we ever get a team. It'd be nice t think NRL would one day be so popular we needed to move to Optus but I cant see it happening.

Is it too late now just to give it a lick of paint and a new roof?

Pic on the right is basically "club mode" for the Roosters and Tahs

I thought it was called HBF Park.

 

[Perth Red]

I thought it was called HBF Park.

My mistake. It is indeed.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Well, I'm still behind the times. I thought it was still called NIB. Can't keep up with these stadiums that have sponsored naming rights.

If that was the problem, couldn't they just run a rope over the field before each half to shake it off?

Bugger that.

It should be in the middle of a roundabout with seats about 7 metres apart to get the real essence of Canberra.

There’s normal ripping off the taxpayer and then there’s ‘I need to visit sporting events in 25 different cities’ ripping off the taxpayer.

All of them were oval shaped.

Yep I love it.
The stops included Dunedin (sure), Singapore (...ahhh...), Adelaide (?Hindmar..) Oval (rigggght) and the MCG... (yep, build the MCG in gungahlin mate).

Oh and Parramatta, where he’s like “this is perfect! But I need it $100mil cheaper, it wasn’t cheap attending AFL games around the country to finally realise it was a rectangle I needed. Can we do it without the roof, how much would that save? And can we lower the rake? Less food and bev? This all helps right?”

Looks good at night time.

Something I noticed on Friday was the crowd noise carried well outside the stadium as well as inside. Must be that the sound efficiently channels through the open back end of the stands. It should add a lot to the atmosphere around the stadium pre and post match, something that's practically non-existent at other Sydney Stadiums.

 

[taipan]

Was he(Barr) able to find sufficient oval AFL type ones overseas,so he can formulate a plan for the rectangular codes in Canberra?
Or did he lobby overseas Govt's,to convert their rectangular ones to oval?

That’s first class ripping off the tax payer right there lol. Doesnt say much about Canberra voters that he keeps his seat!
