The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Game_Breaker]

Colossal single tiered stands don't lend themselves to having a workable "club mode"

I'm not advocating an exact replica but that stand is for standing, which allows it to have an 80K + capacity. We can't have that in Australia

For internationals the capacity is 65K without the standing area

But that stadium creates an amazing atmosphere, one of the best in the world

We just don't have the culture of active support to sustain terraces like this.

The RBB and the Wanderers actually lobbied to have a terrace included at WSS but to no avail.

Personally, I love terraces because of the atmosphere generated, but going away from mod cons and comfort simply doesn't suit Sydney's culture of event attendance or practical stadia future.

The single tiered terrace is not going to happen, I know that
I know an exact replica won't happen here, a lack of corporate seats will be an issue

I don't see why a modified version to suit the codes and needs here is impossible

What elements of the westfalestadion are you suggesting would be appropriate for a new Homebush then?

Just that it's rectangular?

Those closeness to the pitch
The steepness of the stands
The roof cover creating amazing acoustics

The Wanderers actually DID get their wish.
When the Wanderers play there they will unclip the seats and replace them with rails in the RBB area for safe standing.

Safe standing isn’t happening at BankWest? I thought there was a process where they can remove the seats at one end?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

1% gripe about bankwest is they made the back top seats a bright white coulour..

These are going to be the last seats to fill up for most games.. and an empty white seat stands out like dogs balls...

Should have been more dark blue ones up the back..

A drunk Soccer crowd that close to the sidelines can't be good.

South Stand 'Home End' of Tottenham Stadium

North Stand

Agree though that for the amount of time it would get filled here, it's pointless. Spurs will fill it over 50 times a season

Floorplan of Bankwest. Only section I could find for free, otherwise had to subscribe to some website to see full plans. Looks good but.

Parramatta saved Rugby League today

It probably saved Brad Arthur also.

 

[Captain Apollo]

So thats what $360M buys you. I’d assume for another $100M or so you could scale that design up another 10-15K.
Anyone care to tell me what the other $200M+ at Moore Park is for?

Unless you are an actual engineer, you've plucked that figure out of thin air.

Thing to remember the capacity for the new SFS is supposed to be 45-50k. Also they plan to build an under ground cap park. The car park alone would not be cheap to build due to the excavation required.

That is what I read in the press will happen. There is one section where they will remove the seats for the RBB to stand at Wanderers home games. When the Eels play, that are will have the seats re-installed.

Edit: Following is from this article in today's Sydney Morning Herald -

One key feature we won't get to see until Leeds United play the Western Sydney Wanderers is the removal of several bays of seats at the bottom of the Peter Sterling Stand, which will become standing room only for A-League games. That was the top priority for the club, and their active fans in the Red and Black Bloc.

Correct.
I stated that in the post above Herbert's.

 

[Perth Red]

not an NRL venue but very nice

Nice, but no cup holders? lol

This is why the ANZ plan is so so wrong! What a wasted opportunity to build the Australian national rectangular stadium properly.

 

[Perth Red]

Even as a Storm fan I'm envious of Bankwest Stadium.

AAMI looks prettier imo. Finally Sydney wakes up to the difference a decent rectangular stadium can make to the game day experience. Better late than never!

I think WSS could have had more ground level seating in the western terrace if the boxes were 5 to 10m futher back

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

I would advise everyone to attend an event at Bankwest before the western Sydney wankers destroy it on July 20
