Do you know ANZ is a multi-purpose ground?
Obviously I well aware of that, as well as being that,
#a - It is a turd of a place to watch RL from.
#b - What state it is located in.
Re-read my original post...
The plan (if it still stands!) was to have quite significant retractable stands on all 4 sides so that over 25k people would be very close to the action and the rest would be further away in teh AFL seats.
& what happens when the AFL decide to stump up half the cash for the stadium, and gain some form of control over how the stadium is operated?
As with Etihad, the seats will very, very rarely be moved in.
These multi-purpose stadiums in AFL heartlands become a joke, as the AFL use their financial clout to ensure the other sports suffer.
The fact we have had to attend Etihad to watch State of Origin games, Melbourne Storm prelim games etc etc on an oval configuration when they have the ability to bring in the stands is nothing short of criminal.
Particularly for Storm prelims given the AFL do NOT host any games at Etihad from week 3 of their finals onwards.
I'm not saying don't be excited by the plan, what I'm saying is don't completely get your hopes up until such a time as the stadium is built without financial input from the AFL.
& if it ever does get built in the manner I assume it will .... i highly recomend buying any SOO tickets (Should the game go there) on the corner posts

Preferably at height. Only seats in the house that are any good.
