The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[SpaceMonkey]

Even one of the head honchos on the IOC reckons the Gabba revamp should be iced and events for the 2032 Olympic not held there but at "Lang Park" -

Minister denies 2032 Olympics 'on the nose' after IOC's John Coates urges Gabba rejection

International Olympic Committee vice president John Coates says he's told the independent committee reviewing the Games master plan to "abandon" the Gabba.

Where are they going to hold the ttlrack and field and opening/closing ceremonies? Suncorp wont work for those.

Maybe it’s a hair replacement clinic

I guess they wont follow the Tigers lead and include a Hairdresser

May as well not build it if it's still in that shithole Bruce. The major issue is no easy access beyond driving and no entertainment nearby.

In this scenario they will host the athletics at the athletic stadium in brisbane which is more than adequate and the best part is it already exists and won't cost 2.7 billion or hugely benefit the afl.

And if suncorp where to be the main stadium it might actually get some upgrades. Win/win/win in my books.

Sounds like an unhappy compromise but i was under the impression all the proposed city sites were no longer possible. Surely transport and the area could be improved over time and a new stadium could be the catalyst.

QE2 for the Athletics and Lang Park for the ceremonies according to John Coates.

 

[Steel Saints]

This is about the tenth time he’s made an ‘announcement’ on this.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Australian Olympic Committee president Ian Chesterman has supported calls to scrap the proposed Gabba redevelopment for the 2032

Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner declared the Gabba rebuild was “dead, buried and cremated”,

Haha, the AFL must be fuming. Suck shit.

How will you get that many athletes doing a lap of suncorp?

f**k knows. But it's not really worth $2.5B for a ceremony is it?

And let's be honest, by the end it would have cost $3.5B

Shame for Brisbane. Suncorp has lost its crown to Allianz and Gabba is light years behind Optus. They now have two stadiums that are lagging behind other cities.

Problem is how much will it cost in 15 years or so when it needs replacing if they dont do it for Olympics? Stadiums only have a shelf life of so long. And cost more and more each year to replace. Sydney faces the same dilemma with Accor.

You seem upset about the AFL not getting a free ride here.

Yes the track and field events would be interesting if held at Suncorp . Could move the track and field down to Carrara also even though its technically not Brisbane but considering Sydney has offered to hold the rowing to keep down costs why not but it looks like Wyaralong Dam has been mentioned as the most likely spot to hold the rowing.

I dont care one way or other, doesnt effect me. But for the city their stadium facilities are starting to lag and this seemed like a great opportunity to get some funds to help improve one of their two major venues.

He definitely is .
Any RL supporter can see that it was a total waste of $$$$.
AFL fans get upset …..lol PR

They are talking about having it at QSAC/QE2.

Allianz/SFS might be newer than Suncorp but I'd argue if it's better.

Suncorp has a better location, has proper rail right on its doorstep and a 25% bigger capacity.

Seating views would be on par with each other, the only thing better would be the corporate facilities being that they're 20+ years newer at Allianz.

The Gabba is a bucket of shit, the location is great but there is really not much that can be done as the footprint is almost max'd out for that area it's located. They can tart/patch it up but it's lipstick on a pig.
