NSW Gov has done more for rugby league over the last decade.QLD govt > nsw govt
I'll be happy if Lang Park can fit in another 10k seats to lift capacity to 62k. That will be great for RL.

Done nothing solely for league in regards to stadiums except finally PenrithNSW Gov has done more for rugby league over the last decade.

If the Queensland Gov spent that sort of money on its NRL clubs then the Titans wouldn't have gone bust.Done nothing solely for league in regards to stadiums except finally Penrith
hav spent maybe 300 million on centres of excellence all up
So did the dogs with their first one way before PenrithPenrith built their COE with zero dollars from the NSW Government!
Don't forget Pamfas across mulgoa rdSure it doesn’t have gold plated toilets but they own it and the leagues club is getting a huge upgrade
the developer exploited them hard but they were broke at the time and now have a solid asset base
it’ll look better once the leagues club is finished
you can’t beat having a leagues club next door to the ground not many clubs have that now
eels lesgues profits have gone up millions due to commbank
Hence why they are pushing this upgrade thru, everyone else got somethingPenrith built their COE with zero dollars from the NSW Government!

The modular stadium article is interesting. Whilst they do tend to look a bit sht and temporary, building a 20k covered stadium for $85mill is damn good value! I wonder what their life expectancy is? Maybe a compromise where the main corporate stand is a concrete one and the other three are this modular design brings the current silly costs down?
Im still staggered at cost of Penrith. The design of stands now is so much simpler and uses less material, made off site then brought in in a skeleton type design. How one stand can cost $100-150mill I dont know.
yeh really didnt get the comment about wombledon!"Modular" appears to be a corporate spin for temporary seating looking at that article

The article also refers to AFC Wimbeldons home ground, that they share with the London Broncos.
Looking at that it appears to be a lot of concrete.
no it isntIts just bizarre they have filled 2/3rds of a main stand side with other buildings.

The larger (western) stand at Wimbledon is permanent. I believe it’s the other three (the horseshoe shaped bit) that is modular, and those stands only have around 2k capacity each. I get the appeal of them but they seem to be more suited for A-league sized grounds, around the 10K mark.Looking at that it appears to be a lot of concrete.
I guess thats what I was suggesting. $150 mil or so for a real main stand of say 15k and corporates, then $50-70mill on 3 other modula covered stands for another 7-10k or so. That would suit a lot of Sydney NRL clubs. I guess the beauty of is also that you can take the modular stand away and build a bigger permanent one down the track when more funds come available as demand dictates.The larger (western) stand at Wimbledon is permanent.

Thats how stadiums are built these days, or at least how they built the new stands at HBF stadium.Modular is just a cheaper way to build than traditional
a lot of it is prefab off site for easy installation
That rake on that stand isn’t bad is itThats how stadiums are built these days, or at least how they built the new stands at HBF stadium.
Difference is if concrete or scaffold. Scaffold obviously a lot cheaper and easier to remove.
Heres the east stand at hbf, each of those big concrete spine parts were craned in and the roof was all pre made sections craned into place.

Example of a roofed modular scaffold stand. These could work well for the ends of a cheaper build stadium.
