Renders of the new Football stadium for Western United are below.
For those wondering, the owners of the new club have been granted a parcel of land by the local council for property development into residential, commercial and retail for future income. This is where they will get their money back and is why they are pouring $180 million into a stadium, training pitches and an academy for both the male and female game.
I'm not sure they care that there will only be 13 A-League games there a season. It should also score Matilda's matches, as well as local bigger games from the Victorian Premier League.
I'm guessing it will indeed be football specific.

If soccer can work out a financial plan like this in relatively a short time of existence(the A-League) then what the hell have our club CEO's and managers been up to all these decades?

Manly and Cronulla in particular spring to mind.

Best case scenario: SFS built at reduced cost and savings put into complete knockdown and rebuild of ANZ. Fingers crossed.

Best case scenario is it is scrapped totally for a couple of years and a hotel is built on that very plot of land or anything else but a stadium.

Then they(Gov & the NRL) wake up to themselves and build the perfect stadium over Central Station. Everyone knows that Central is easily the best location to put it in and would instantly become the most sort after tickets in town for virtually any event there. Build it and they will come by the millions.

We can only dream.

It is illegal for a hotel to be built on SCG Trust land. The Sydney Cricket Ground and Sports Ground Trust Act 1978 specifically prohibits that occurring (specifically section 16D of the Act). The NSW Government don't have the numbers in both Houses of the NSW Parliament to ensure they could change the provisions of the Act to enable it to do so.

The NRL don't have money to pour into stadiums so your dreaming if you think they'll push that boat.

Well turn it into a parking lot or a park for all I care. The point I was making was it should not be built there at all. It should be built over the train tracks of Central Station as that other proposal showed was possible.

Did that proposal have a cost attached to it? That’s got to have some serious implications on budget and to play havoc with transport in and out of the city during construction.

Also with the disruption the light rail has caused I do not see that there would be enough support for that proposal.

SFS situation is an absolute joke, and travesty for the people of NSW.

Yes, it's normal in the private sector for building contracts to be separate and sorted after a demolition, but this isn't the private sector. Public projects need to be costed in full, particularly prior to an election. Apparently we had a design everyone was fapping over - ooooo, cup holders, club mode, flashy LED lighting.....f**k off. Now we just have designs and tender process heavily skewed in favour of the builder.

It was all rushed through to get the demolition started prior to the election, and Gladys and her cronies could have something lined up in the private sector if they lost the election, with a good word from folks like Jones and Shepard. It was all about making these blokes happy.

In the meantime, these ministers are throwing around OUR money like they're footy player cards. What do they f**king care? It's not their cash and they know we as a society are so apathetic to the shit they do.
