The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

In your opinion.

Apparently....

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

An eastern stand at Wollongong and Brookvale should be the NRL's priority (regarding stadium upgrades). In both cases the eastern stand should be based on the same design as the existing northern stands.

Bruce Stadium may not be the best, but it is still better than most of the suburban grounds. If it is terrible on a cold winter night then schedule games at 3pm Sat or 2pm/4pm Sun.

That doesn't help things mate, and tbh, there is probably a reason why so many have you on ignore.
Just try and chill.

He reads everything mate. He can pretend otherwise. He’s written 16000 posts in 16 months. This bloke is obsessed with himself.

16000 posts in 16 months says otherwise.

No, that post made sense.
You don't always have to hate every post of his.

Have you met vlad?

Agreed. Canberra Stadium on a 2pm Sunday is actually pretty nice in the winter.

6pm Friday isn't the worst either and is also really easy to get to from anywhere in Canberra.

Raiders need to work out if they want bums on seats or free to air games as they can't have both. Bums on seats is the only way they will get an upgrade.

Sure, they are going to put a swimming pool at Suncorp in the middle of the NRL season. I guess they can just put it on top of the grass? I know my grass always look terrific underneath where I have my temporary backyard pool. Interesting to know your thoughts on how this may work. Tell us more.

I don't think it's realistically a chance.

Remember the aquatics isn't just one swimming pool, it's multiple.

And all Australian Cities have world class aquatic centres already

To be fair he’s written over 16000 posts in the last 16 months and I can’t say I’ve either read or hated all of them.

it truly is mate. Thank christ we got it when we did or else QCB would have cost $500mil to build and we'd still be playing out at the old joint......

Honestly every stadium is nice at 2pm on a sunny Sunday.
Except Accor if you forgot your binoculars.

Yes but Canberra is by far the coldest, it should be given that sunday early arvo timeslot moreso than any in Sydney or qld
Townsville should get a Saturday night game due to the heat, and fans travel, and warriors get the Friday 6pm slot due to timezone, this should be the law then filter every other game around those 3 stadiums,

down the line if png come in, give them the alternate Townsville late Saturday timeslot, Christchurch get the Auckland 6pm friday alternate timeslot, and I suppose Perth could do with the Canberra 2pm slot (becomes a late game on EST)
...I'm a genius

Was just making a point about the general quality of stadiums. I totally agree with you though, timeslots need to be better tailored to what works for different cities, what works for Townsville won’t necessarily work for Canberra or Auckland.

Correct, maximise the exposure to the expansion areas and make sure these timeslots are settled in, that way no one can complain about conditions when the NRL have done their best under the circumstances, no Sydney or Seq team should complain about what I put forward, and it should help those key reasons in terms of settled crowds
and them getting even more bums on seats

It is a long shot but a possibility that the womens state of origin in Newcastle is sold out. If it is I reckon the government needs to commit $100m to upgrades of the ends to make it 40k.
