The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[baselinepanther]

I'm a bit confused about the Sharks stadium situation.

I've heared many times that the two years away from home was due to the construction impacts of the precinct, with no stadium improvements involved. Certainly the stadium hasn't been improved.

However the scaffolding on the far side is awfully close to the main stands. So what is that all about?

Are they actually doing stadium renovations to extend the big grandstand the length of the field? If so that is great.

Or are they building some other structure adjacent to the stadium? If this is the case, then that seems very short-sighted. They are giving themselves no room to grow. Are they planning on drawing tiny crowds forever?

the place is barely @ state cup level , its embarrassing

 

[Vee]

Anywhere that has that crowd will struggle for getting in and out really

Rome managed it with the coliseum.

Priority access for the lions.

Haha, instead of building a main stand they’re filling the space with buildings. Probably happy with 12k sell outs.

And yet that's still 12k more than Perth will get this weekend, next weekend and the weekend after etc etc. Oh that's right they don't have a team. Soz

Haha, when you’ve got no fans you might as well flog the land for buildings instead of building stands.

At least those buildings get to watch football every 2nd week. You don't.

What brings in more money?

 

[forby]

So money means more than fans?

 

[The Great Dane]

It'd be tight , but it could be done
put that 150m of parksway east & west under the stadium then ( a tunnel ) , & it would be on the civic pool site , over parksway & butt up against commonwealth park.

It could be done ...

Where is the money for a tunnel under the stadium going to come from?

We barely got the feds to agree to move the north lanes of Parkes Way roughly a hundred metres south, they're never going to agree to fund a tunnel under the stadium that will cost significantly more.

Even if we could get them to agree to fund a tunnel it's not clear that a tunnel and butting the stadium up against Commonwealth park would even fix the problem, because all the experts so far have said you'd have to eat into Commonwealth park to fit a stadium of reasonable size.

And why go to all that extra expense in both time and resources when you could build the new stadium in literally any of the other city centres, space permitting, and get all the same benefits from building it in Civic? You'd save yourself hundreds of millions of dollars without any major negatives.

In other words your solution isn't realistically feasible, may not actually be a solution at all, and there're cheaper more realistic alternatives.

enough of your " you don't understand "
I simply don't agree with you , that doesn't mean it can't be done ...

You don't disagree with me. You disagree with every city planner, architect, and engineer that has looked at the problem...

This isn't a difference in subjective preference, stop trying to paint it as if it is.

Fans if you’ve got them. selling your assets if you dont!

 

[Iamback]

Garbage

TV runs the game. 6pm Friday nights don't bring in fans outside of the die hards

You think the club wouldn't look into this stuff?

 

[Frailty]

Or generating a source of constant income for the club. Not to mention creating more of precinct for before and post game.

That is it. 2025 when they have the next ground update you would think North Shore or Southern Sydney is next

Then you upgrade the ground.

It's another way Murdoch has damaged our game.

Could have done that without taking up prime main stand space surely? It is an nrl club at end of day not a shopping mall owner. No stadium in the nrl should have 1/3 a main stand on one side!

Rubbish, most clubs only have one game in that time slot a year. Clubs get $13mill from tv, they could earn three times that if they built a decent sized engaged fanbase! Problem is for some reason most clubs seem to be struggling to appeal to large numbers of people, and shty small stadiums don’t help.

Not much to be confused by. Simple google would show the details of the development.

Plenty of room to expand the stadium with the funds about to come through.

Buzz bleating about his beloved shark park and ''wonderful'' 11k crowd. What a joke.
