The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

Maybe if they spent a more reasonable amount on a new oval they could afford the new arena that Brisbane actually really needs.

Shift the athletics to Melbourne or Sydney, save billions.

Yep. Why not?

They play football, surfing, kayaking, lots of sports far from the host city.

I imagine in future it won’t be city hosted Olympics but country hosted.

Why does a new stadium equate to a second fumbleball team in Brisbane?

To me it equates to a cricket stadium that can compete against Sydney, Perth and Adelaide for major events like world cup quarter and semi finals.

Right now Brisbane is behind all those cities.

A new stadium actually extinguishes the chance of a second Brisbane AFL team. You simply can’t go from 36k capacity per fortnight to 120k per fortnight. Increasing supply that dramatically would significantly reduce demand. Instead of the Lions pulling 45k per week in 2033, you would have them with 35k and Brisbane 2 with 10k - 15k. The AFL won’t have that.

Have you read the Olympic Games own charter on the ‘new norm’ to significant reduce the costs and impracticalities of the games that’s just coming into effect with Paris and LA? https://www.olympics.com/ioc/new-norm

‘History’ of the games has caused them to become undesirable to host because of the ridiculous costs such as building multi billion dollar ovals most cities don’t need.

And Paris will go down as one of the worst. Wouldn't use that in a comparison.

Athletics to Melbourne in July?
11 degrees and sleet at the MCG.
No thanks

On top of all this, it gives the perception that afl is the premier sport in qld as it has the fancy new oval and by 2032 Suncorp will be tired and busted - which is where nrl play

watch all the fumblers crow on about this. They are already going on about how afl is taking over qld. They will love gloating that ‘if nrl is so popular why does afl have a brand new 60k stadium and nrl has a 30 year old 55k stadium’

Completely agree mate. f**k AFL, f**k the Olympics. I'm born and bred in Brisbane and all I care about is how RL benefits from this.

What you suggest is exactly what will happen post games. NRL will be told that Broncos, Dolphins, State of Origin and Magic Rd can play at the Olympic Stadium of you want a bigger ground and we are stuck with our very own Accor Stadium for decades.
