The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Quicksilver]

Extending outwards on the northern and eastern sides?

Do you even geography? What do you propose, portaloos on Moore Park Road? LOL

Gross exaggeration.
There is plenty of room for a toilet block. You just don’t place it in the narrowest section.

 

[Quicksilver]

what qualifications do you have that have make you an expert in stadium construction?

Not stadiums. But I do construction costing as part of my job. Multi-million dollar projects. Though I don’t really want to go in to that. Thanks.

 

[Perth Red]

He’s been reading too many of Perth Reds posts.

I see I have another fan lol

I’d be surprised if stadiums built these days aren’t built with a 40-50year life span. Apart from capacity I can’t see too much evolution of stadiums in next few decades unless climate change kicks in even more and we end up needing fully enclosed stadiums in the future.

It’d be a great shame for fans if clubs choose to still play at anz when you’ve got the quality of wss for club games sitting there.

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

When will they build a stadium where I can sit in a glass case above the ground?

of course you do

 

[Quicksilver]

of course you do

Very good.

I’m not really fussed if you don’t take my word. I’m just a guy on the internet after all. But you did ask so I answered.

I just think these projects have not really been placed under a sufficient level of scrutiny given the size, scale and ongoing legacy.

I know Rugby League fans want the best facilities possible. But gee it’s defensive in here. No one likes even the slightest prodding of these things.

Allianz is only being done to keep Alan Jones happy. No other reason to knock it down

We have a high turnover rate in here. If Timmah doesn't get you, beave, GAZF or El Diablo will.

 

[TheEroticGamer]

How great is it that the aldi version of the old guy from home and away makes the decisions for everyone in Sydney? Why have Democracy when you can have Oligarchy? It's Premium Democracy.

The only way to achieve that would be to greatly minimise the amount of space for ingress and egress in already fairly narrow spaces which are already borderline dangerous.

You'd think someone 'involved in multi-million dollar projects' and their construction would know that.

Is it possible to build two storey structures yet?

I haven't kept up with the latest technological advancements.

That are DDA compliant in an already 30-year old stadium that fails most accessibility requirements as it is?

You tell me.

I'm not being paid to provide answers, just participating in discussion. I don't even have floor plans to examine. Although if I had a couple of hours with a scale ruler and a copy of the relevant legislation in hand I could probably think of a few suggestions.

Maybe move something that already exists on ground level up a floor? A slight reconfiguration to put in a few more toilets? How many more could possibly be required? Are we really pissing so much more than 30 years ago? How many bottles of Coke do fat kids consume in 80 minutes?

It amazes me that we can't apply any creativity to this situation. I'm sure that if it were a Westfield and a business had to pay for it a cheaper answer could be found.

Just a straight out "doesn't fit, new stadium needed."

We can have a supposed new high-tech stadium designed but even an elementary level of creativity for an affordable refurbishment option of a 30 year old stadium can't be provided?

My god. Worst case scenario put stairs and a lift. Put in 100 lifts and it's still far cheaper than a knock down rebuild.

This whole plan has been covered with a shroud of secrecy. No transparency whatsoever. It can't be that hard to add in a few more amenities to this stadium.

This new play thingy will be fun for my first couple visits. I'll enjoy going there. But it's a shithouse use of government money.

Anyway, something for the people of Sydney to ponder in their 2 hour employment commute.

you need to pull your finger out

you missed one

Sensible, thoughtful discussion.

 

[Timmah]

Sensible, thoughtful discussion.

To be honest, not much of what you've put forward is either.

 

[Quicksilver]

In future I'll just post photos of public toilets.

Then I'll be on the same page as you and Alan Jones at least.

He's not being paid to.

Actually many people have talked about $730m being over the top for the SFS. Lots of people agree it just needed another $350m stadium like WSS.

And some of your stuff isn’t slight prodding, it’s outright silly.

To bring the facilities up to standard at the SFS would have cost hundreds of millions. Major structural work would’ve been involved.

Nah, it needs knocking down. It just doesn’t need a 730m stadium.
