The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Pneuma]

There is absolutely zero reason for an 50-60k rectangular stadium in Melbourne. Sure, when AAMI is 40 years old they should consider building something bigger. but right now you should save your breathe.
This is pie in the sky stuff and to conflate it with not ‘taking the fight to AFL’ is bizarre. Imagine the AFL demanding a 100k seater in Sydney for the odd blockbuster. Please

You just made this thread a little dumber. I didn’t think it was possible but you did it.

 

[Canard]

Melbourne needing a 50k rectangular stadium for 2 events a year is peak LU.

I mean Sydney barely had one decent rectangular stadium until West Sydney was built a few years ago.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Well the air went out of the Women's world cup balloon pretty quickly.

This is peak LU.

The Broncos average between 32k-36k at a 52k stadium. 60%-70% capacity

The Roosters Will average around 20k at SFS and the crowds look great at a 50% capacity.

I think if Melbourne were to have a 50k Stadium the Storm would average over 20k easy and push for 50%-70% capacity season average over time.
The Anzac Day game alone would attract a monster crowd. You only have to see when the Storm took a couple of games to Marvel, they wouldn’t have got them crowds at that time at Aami. Bigger stadium could equal cheaper tickets, bigger crowds for Marquee events.

If we’re comparing apples to apples, The Storms crowds at a brand new 50k stadium even at a 20k average would look better than the Sydney teams playing at Homebush. Think bigger not smaller in the Storms case. You need room if you want to grow.

ffs stop making sense.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Only the lowest drawing events should be considered in the Melbourne stadium size debate.

Big games don't happen.

 

[Perth Red]

I'm loving the true colours coming through in this thread.

Perfect argument against a Perth team right here - they'll get shit attendances.

Theyll be on par with everyone elses sht attendances lol

 

[Perth Red]

depends on how many Kangaroos/SOO/Wallabies/Socceroos/Matildas/NRL/A-league games you want to promise to make it work

you dont need a 50k stadium for matildas, a league or nrl games!
50k will be too small for SOO when they can sell 100k tickets at mcg.
So you want to spend a billion $'s to host the odd bledisloe cup game and the odd socceroos game that probably wont get 40k? Thats a great business idea!

so you want to spend a billion $'s to host a club with 20k gates in a 50k stadium even though they have a perfectly good 30k stadium they play in now? That makes so much sense lol

'Not actually required': AOC boss questioned over $2.7 billion decision to rebuild the Gabba

The multi-billion-dollar redevelopment of the Gabba stadium in Brisbane, which will see a heritage-listed school knocked down, was not necessary to host the 2032 Olympic Games, Australian Olympic Committee CEO reveals.

www.abc.net.au

Your taxes are helping to pay for it

 

[Pneuma]

This twat from Perth endlessly whinges about Sydney crowds and then comes up with a master plan for ensuring no growth in crowds in Melbourne? The level of hypocrisy this twit exhibits here is limitless.

I’ve always thought the whinger from Perth was fairly stupid but I underestimated him. He’s a complete dill.

don't know if 50k is needed - but a high quality, modern 25k - 45k rectangular arena in Perth, Adelaide and Canberra would be nice

could also lobby for a 20 - 30k all seater somewhere else in Brisbane for games that don't quite reach the Lang Park capacity requirement

 

[bazza]

is 50k some minimum requirement for FIFA men's world cup stadiums?

 

[Perth Red]

is 50k some minimum requirement for FIFA men's world cup stadiums?

no, its just a random number that idiots on here have pulled out of their yaris.

30k stadiums are more than adequate for rectangular sports in Australia for the foreseeable future. In fact preferable so as not to feel empty. The two cities that need bogger ones have them (Brisbane & Sydney) and the other cities have alternatives when a big stadium is needed.
The 3 rectangular codes just arent that popular at club level that they are even close to regularly testing a 30k capacity, let alone 50k.

Let me introduce you to the Post Olympics configuration of Stadium Australia...

have you got stadium jealousy due to Perth and melbourne accomodationg bigger crowds for origin than QLD can? Pretty shit capacity for the home of rugby league dont you think?

 

[Wb1234]

If they build a 50k rectangular stadium in Melbourne they can take origins there lmao

who cares if the crowd goes down by half

 

[Marlins]

League, Union, and soccer should just flat out refuse to ever play another match at an oval again. Put the emphasis back on the states to build rectangular grounds. The more we use them, the more it justifies there existence.

 

[TheRam]

so whats the 15+ events a year you believe will draw 40k plus crowds to this new stadium? How many internationals do you think happen a year in one city? ho wmany 50k plus games ar eplayed in Sydney for example every eyar in the home of rectanugalr sports.

You're asking for tax payers to drop a $billion on something that isnt needed.

How many over 30K crowds do the Broncos get a season? But I bet if you stuck them in a 30K stadium their average would drop right down to well under 30K.

You need a large stadium to allow for the members that won't turn up and the many non members that will decide that week or a few days out or on the day to lob up. If you built a 50K stadium and only 31-35K turned up on most occasions just like the Broncos that is still a good outcome and better then then 20-25K that would if you played in a 30K stadium.

Build it and they will come.
