The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Steel Saints]

Ones 12k with a gras hill, ones 20,500 all seater. Jog on.

hbf stadium >>>Penrith, belmore, brookvale, shark park, dolphin park, win, kogorah, LO, Campbelltown, Sunshine Coast, canberra

Its interesting that you included Win and the Sunshine Coast in the list. Sunshine Coast doesn't have a professional team as tenant, while Win only hosts roughly 6 NRL games a year. And of course, both are from regional areas.

HBF Park is located in a capital city. It has two tenants in the Glory and Force. HBF Park is the only rectangular ground in Perth to host top flight sport. Has one good grandstand on the eastern side, and not much else.

HBF Park has two tenants and is located in one of the five major capital cities. So in that context, HBP Park is below average.

I included them as they are deemed regular home stadiums for their teams.

east and south are done, north had lower bowl seats added. Two new big screens were added. New led lighting has been done, new pitch and warm up pitch were done. It’s around 19000 all seated at moment. New corporate west stand and the shed either replacing same as south stand or extending and modernising to keep some standing terracing for the soccer yobbos and sorted.

no arguments from me, can’t wait to get the west stand done.

Doesn’t take away the fact that it is still ok at moment and not the shthole some ignorant people on here think When you compare to a number of other nrl stadiums being used.
Is it the best? No
is it the worse? No
does it need finishing off? Yes
will the nrl give perth a license and demand it be finished? We shall see!

For a city the size of Perth, it's a shithole.

Nailed it. Being an all seater means very little if the facilities aren't there.

It still has very few undercover seating. Certainly in the same ball park as a couple of grounds he mentioned

When’s Suncorp getting rebuilt to a decent size? bit embarrassing at moment that Perth gets more to origin than brisbane lol

Penrith holds more has more corporate areas and undercover....

Plenty deem it not suitable, yet a one town team should have worse?

Perth is a shithole so it’s fit for purpose

That PNG stadium is superior to HBF.

This is a dumb statement, and you know it is. Apples vs apples (rectangular stadiums only) and Perth isn't getting an origin game.

By your logic a 150,000 at Rungrado in Pyongyang for an origin would be less 'embarrassing' than a Suncorp sell out.

let’s be honest if it wasn’t for pork barreling penrith would be playing in that stadium for years to come lol.
And yes most stadiums requiring people to stand on a grass hill is inferior to hbf park, imo.

at the moment hbf park is more than adequate for the 2 perth clubs needs that use it. An nrl club, hopefully, will require better And bigger. It’s a great sign the club is destined for big things if that’s the case!

Yeh it would be, people in glass houses and all that.

Suncorp is too small. Get your act together brisbane Lol

reality is there are only two cities in Australia with top quality stadia for both main codes. Melbourne and Brisbane (soon). The other 4 have inadequate modern stadia by new standards for one or both codes.

To be fair desert qld is trolling him and it’s a fair response

buddy with this weather check out lady Macquaries chair and red leaf beach

It is.

The minimum for a new area should be to match or better Robina

DQ raises a fair point.

A 20k rectangular stadium for a city the size of Perth is pretty poor, a bit like Melbourne with Aami, granted there is far less use.

No dolphins or png then?

Penrith has 1/10th the population of Perth too.

sit on grass or sitting on a plastic seat while being in the elements is the same really

GC, Newcastle, Townsville... soon to be Penrith have far less population. Less usage and better stadiums then a capital city

Of course it is lol

FWIW, I hope the game expands to Perth and it becomes team 18. From there, HBF Park should get upgrades and increase it's capacity to the 25k to 30k range.

However another issue is Optus Stadium. Was there a missed opportunity to do something similar like the Stade de France, where you have retractable seating on all four sides of the ground? The venue has hosted the men's football world cup, the Euros, current Rugby World Cup, and next year, the Paris Olympics.

Stadium Australia in the past could've done something close or alike with the design of venue and retractable seating on all sides.

Left hand side is in rectangular mode. Right hand side in athletics mode.
