The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Timbo]

I think this was always the plan. Now they get to look like heroes for 'compromising'.

As long as it's close to the original refurb plan, who cares.

you give them way too much credit

In a couple of years, the costs for Allianz will blow out, and then they will revise their plans for ANZ. Could possibly be a new government by then too. I wouldn't hold my breath regarding ANZ.

Yep

* A new seating bowl for seats on all six levels up to 48m closer to the action.
* Stands that adapt for rugby league, football and rugby union.
* A retractable roof that would weatherproof all matches.
* Steepness of seating comparable to Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.
* The ability for ANZ Stadium to adapt for smaller NRL club games.

Well the top wings are only used dead set 4 times a year by anyone ..

So do we care if they don't move in ?

No, they’re used 10-15 times a year.

Concerts don't matter.... people are going to go to ed sheeran regardless if he is 133 m or 151m away..

I think it'll be fine this way. As long as the original refurb comes to fruition.

And the SCG trust wins again.
Of course this was going to happen.

I’m more or less fine with it, but unless they rebuild the upper decks it’s going to be seriously compromised. It’ll also look really weird.

The original plan did include the upper decks being redone though.

Other question is the closing roof, which I undersood was required in the original plan, reason being the new lower decks would be completely open to the elements otherwise.

If it ends up being like that then I’m ok with it

Steeper stands that is closer to the action is what we wanted anyway

 

[Vozzy]

Such a waste Allianz is during footy season. Only used for away fans at Roosters games and one end for the Cove at A League

Only if the Coalition retain office. If Labor wins he won't get appointed to the Trust's Board anytime soon.

Following is the NSW Government release about the stadium plans -

A major renovation of ANZ Stadium will ensure that Sydney continues to host the NRL Grand Final for the next 25 years.

The NSW Government has decided to proceed with a renovation of the ANZ Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park.

The refurbished facility will deliver a better experience by bringing fans closer to the action and making all seats undercover.

Construction is expected to start in late 2019 and be completed by mid-2021.

The government has also announced it will fully redevelop Allianz Stadium into a world-class venue. Improvements to the Moore Park stadium include:

• substantially improved sightlines
• a roof that covers all patrons
• significantly improved amenity, and food and beverage options.

Work on Allianz Stadium is expected to commence in late 2018, and be completed by March 2022.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said compared to a “knock down rebuild”, the cost of renovating ANZ Stadium would save $500 million and complete the rebuild two years earlier than previously scheduled.

“We will be able to deliver two outstanding stadiums for Sydney at the best possible value for taxpayers,” Ms Berejiklian said.

The revised plans for these stadiums will cost around $1.5 billion.

So the cost savings are from keeping the existing main structure, some toilets, food outlets,etc. Hopefully they do something good with the void between the old seats and new.

I find it totally bizarre that they are doing both stadiums at the same time. If ANZ is taking less than two years why would they not do that first so teams have somewhere to play games in 2020/21,
