2025 Crowd Watch

Imagine if Accor had a roof.

f**k me it doesn't need a roof. Just knock it down and build it as a world class rectangle. Adding a roof is just pissing money into the wind.

Rugby league is not meant to be played indoors.

I hear the AFL is keen to be involved in the new stadium design to make it an oval … they might throw in $2-3 million

So the goverment will throw in a billion dollars to build an oval, while the AFL throws in 2-3 million? I think the NRL should follow suit if that's the case.

 

[i0Nic]

I’d say it’ll be more like 55k today.

Or we do both. The roof wouldn't just be for Rugby League games. Its our states major stadium. We should be trying to attract all sorts of events with it.

You missed the sarcasm? Why am I not surprised

Every seat should be protected from the rain. And they should be heated. This is football after all.

the AFL chucked in a couple of million and managed to get Homebush reconfigured after the Olympics for their big games … and then stopped playing them there when the North Shore and Eastern suburbs fan base didn’t want to travel west

estimates dropping like a stone …

 

[newc18]

Sure. That’ll fix the problem. We can then cure all known diseases.

If NSW wants to stay competitive attracting major events, they will need to either upgrade or rebuild Accor sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile you have Eddie McGuire as part of Tourism Victoria talking about putting a roof on the MCG so they can attract even more events, and Brisbane is about to build a multi billion dollar stadium.

Eddie Maguire? Lol
QLD is holding an Olympics from memory. We’ll see how the stadium plan goes. Tassie says hello

So is this sarcasm also?

He is apart of the Visit Victoria board. Like him or hate him, this is what they are talking about.

Are you seriously comparing Tasmania to NSW? Are we meant to take you seriously?

 

[BuffaloRules]

No … this is what happened … sadly … and also when there is talk of a refurbishment and reconfiguration of Homebush now to a rectangle stadium …. The Swans and Giants stick their heads up and appeal to the State Govt “not to lock them out” …

 

[i0Nic]

If swans get their scg upgrade they can f**k right off and leave Accor to be a true rectangular stadium

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Top level on the tv side looks quite bare. I reckon there's around 50-52k there.

Yeah it looks like the rain and the cold has kept a few away.

I am simply pointing out that right at the moment spending billions on stadia is on the nose in a big way. Tassie is an example. But do go on.

 

[Vlad59]

So is this sarcasm also?

You’ll work it out. One day

 

[eels4lifee]

You’ll work it out. One day

Yeah oneday, when I reach your age at 85

 

[Vlad59]

Get back to me when you finish grade 5
