The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Desert Qlder]

every ground is in suburb you gonk lol. That doesnt make it a suburban ground.
Centralised, multi-tenanted, good public transport infrastructure, modern design, decent capacity. Those are the definitions of non-suburban grounds. Commbank is in a suburb but its not a suburban ground.

and yes Perth has lots of suburban grounds. But HBF Park isnt one of them.

It barely scrapes 20k. Suburban.

Redfern Oval is owned by the City of Sydney Council. Based on that council's current membership, having it revert to be a ground for professional sport is a 0% chance of occurring, and that political makeup is unlikely to change much anytime soon.

The council made it open to public use, which I believe is one of the reasons, but not the only reason, Souths no longer use it as a training base. Again complete pie in the sky, unrealistic thinking by Joel.

South’s no longer use it because they got a new 26 million coe built at heffron park

I didnt say it was every criteria, majority though? Yeh it ticks more boxes than not even in its half finished state. And if it gets its supposed upgrade it wont be a shade over 20k, it'll be mid to high 20k's.

Actual suburban grounds tick none or hardly any of these boxes, and these venues only exist in the top flight in Sydney (and one part time outlier in Brisbane) largely because the game there remains stuck in a romanticised suburban 1980's mindset :

Geographically centralised
multi-tenanted
good public transport infrastructure
modern design
decent capacity.

its half finished state

That's exactly how it looks. Shame job for a supposed major city.

its a bad look admitting new teams with grounds like that

Jeeze even png could manage to do a better stadium

Meanwhile this is happening in the Olympics

Brisbane will save the ioc

People whining about clubs wanting to play out of suburban grounds have zero idea about league fans.

And rugby league is a made for tv sport. Always will be. Doesn't matter how big the crowd is as long as the ground is full. Looks so much better on TV.

These empty soulless stadiums look horrible on TV. The toilet bowl being the worst of the worst.

eh? the games biggest crowds are not happening at suburban grounds. Seems more RL fans prefer main stadiums over suburban tips.

No ones suggesting use of suburban stadiums should be replaced by an 80k stadium lol

He's not alone:

V’Landys told Sydney radio station 2GB that fans “want to be able to walk to their facility, they want to be tribal and we're not going to give up until we've got all teams playing out of suburban grounds in Sydney.”

Tbf, the NRL wanted to upgrade four suburban grounds. Are they still lobbying?
