The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[jim_57]

Local story today on 6PR that WA Govt will spend $300mill turning HBF Park into a 25k + finished stadium in readiness for the Western Bears admission into the NRL!

Hopefully $300m can get the whole thing finished. At least a new Western stand and northern stand you’d hope. Woshful thinking for a roof on the southern stand and filling in the corners at that price?

A positive step but a waste of time unless they make it a decent 35k+ stadium capable of finals and internationals.

Don’t half arse it Perth.

It's masterplan is for 25000. It may be lower than what some want, but the quality of the ground won't be subpar

I quite like the open corners and no canopy for the southern stand. I don't want to stadium be turned too inward focused. I think they've got a really decent opportunity to enhance the original Architectural concept of a "stadium in the park". A smaller, rectangle version of Adelaide Oval. A striking modern stadium while still keeping elements of its 100 years historical identity as a suburban ground, important to Perth's sporting culture and the romanticised suburban ground so loved by many NRL fans.
The Moreton Bay figs need to remain visible inside the ground, and may help in forging the relationship between Perth and NS Bears and NS Oval
