    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I know Sydney gets a lot of heavy rain, but I am not sure that a roof will actually increase crowds. There are already 40k undercover seats at ACCOR. It is more the getting there and back that puts people off. Also a fixed roof can restrict the ability to host some concerts. The roof as Marvel...

    All big stadiums use lighting to maintain the grass. The MCG rolls out the lights at night, as does Marvel and I would imagine ACCOR Already does.

    Interesting that if the Rebels survive, they plan to move their training and games to the Western United soccer stadium. Currently WU are playing at a 5k ground, with a 15k stadium due to be built next door soon (sure it is). Apparently there is a big Pasifika population out that way but it is...

    AFL Gather Round is the middle week of school holidays. You could fixture the Storm game for 2025 now. Reckon next Friday v Dogs at the family friendly 6pm time slot will bring another big crowd.

    Just to straighten some facts… There have always been wingers and half backs in AFL. There are two wingers and three half backs in every team. And they actually invented Origin. It was dropped 20 years ago and the AFL never mentions it. And nobody in Melbourne is the slightest bit interested in...

    Expansion of the Women's Competition

    Souths and Storm are next in. Hopefully 2026 or 2027.

    Agree. People get conditioned by TV to think the the sideline view is best.

    To be fair, the Lions also have abut 50 tickets left for their game this week. If games are selling out a few days out, then the capacity is spot on.

    Queenslanders are so scared of AFL, they would rather have relatively shit Olympics than a new stadium just because AFL can also use it. As if AFL is ever taking over from RL anywhere north of Canberra. Totally irrational thinking.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    So, the outcome is that the NRL stadium and AFL stadium are both getting $500m each for upgrades. Putting aside what might have been, I am not sure that it is really a massive win for RL or massive loss for AFL. Yes, a few regional stadiums are getting minor upgrades but those are mainly...

    Well, obviously my sarcastic response to a clueless poster thinking they could have the athletics at Suncorp suggests exactly that. Nothing gets past you.

    They could run around the outside of Suncorp. That would be about 400. Sharp turns though.

    So they are spending $500m on each of Suncorp and the Gabba? Sounds fair. Still, a shame for Australia if they use QSAC, surely the $500m Gabba spend could include cutting a few rows of seats out at one end to fit an athletics track? Spending a single cent at QSAC is a total waste, but $1.6m...

    It will have the same capacity as Suncorp, so who is suggesting playing the GF or other RL games there? It is for the Olympics, AFL, cricket and concerts (the larger field will mean an extra 10k for concerts compared to Suncorp).

    Assume it is being built in five or so years and they are allowing for lots of inflation and increased costs? Seems crazy.

    I think FIFA has some extra media space requirements. I reckon the new screens would cost about 500seats each. 29k seems about right.

    Good to know the capacity is now 27,706. Do you have a source for that? GA sections including corners were packed. They are the value seats @ AAMI. Family ticket $78. Last night‘s game and Coates’ try is already a talking point down here. Showed my 9yo son the Fox/Kayo mini this morning and...

    PNG's back.

    Storm has had a few PNG players. Just Coates and Olam left? Don't reckon there are ‘far more’ born and bred Victorians in the NRL, even allowing for those of Pacific heritage.
