The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

Petition is up to 112 people. I'm coming for you Fitz.

The only thing I don't get with the sfs is why it needs to be so large. 30-35k should be more than enough.

To allow for 15k of members seating

It’s only 8k.

And it could be worked around in a number of ways.

Trust by laws only says someone is guaranteed entry, not a seat. Given the average turn out is probably much lower than 8k, you could have a standing area for any overflow.

Ch 9 had a report confirming $40M for centre of excellences, actually it is probably centres of excellence.

And look how they worded it? It’s as if rugby league are stealing from the poor to pay for it. The “home” of rugby league hey!

Oh dear. I can only imagine the lather that our bandana'd, self-appointed arbiter of public funding will be in over this.

A Robin Hood that never leaves his mansion in Mosman.

It was a hatchet job that didn't even mention that the funding is on a $4$ basis. It was like something you'd see on ACA, trying to get people worked up, like the stadiums.

Sorry guys, can someone explain to me why we need ANZ redeveloped? I don't like it either but I don't want $2billion of NSW money to be spent on redoing this behemoth.

 

[M2D2]

Needs a roof. Needs to be rectangular.

they're not spending $2 billion on it

Because it has no purpose other than for rectangular codes. The oval codes that wanted it in its current configuration have abandoned it anyway (Cricket/VFL).

After the Olympic circus has passed through town most of these purpose built stadiums around the world either get demolished or sit in ruin. It's nothing unusual. The likes of Fitzsimmons are stirring up fake controversy for clicks because they work for a dead medium. Just do a quick search of Fairfax layoffs.

The real crime here is why were ANZ and Allianz designed so poorly in the first place? Particularly Allianz. Since Day 1 it's had issues with the roof not providing protection from either the sun or the rain.

 

[M2D2]

Because ANZ was not built for Rectangular sports.
And alot of stadiums world wide see proper roofs as a luxury.

With ANZ, couldn’t the lower bowl have been built with a steeper incline to facilitate a better conversion to a rectangular stadium later?

Maybe. But it wasnt. It was built for the Olympics. Not rectangular sports. (Despite El Diablos whinges about it.) and when it was redeveloped and capacity reduced the last time, money talked and it stayed multi purpose.
Cheaper to knock it down and rebuild a proper rectangular stadium than it is to redevelop it again.

 

[El Diablo]

It was built for the Olympics.Not rectangular sports.

that rectangular sport Soccer was played there during the Olympics

there were also numerous games of RL, RU and a game of NFL played there before the Olympics

they got awfully lucky seeing you think rectangular sports were never factored into the design of the stadium

what we do know is that when it was constructed it was impossible to play VFL or Cricket there

The time for renovation was when the temp stands were removed

Instead it was renovated into a oval configuration when the base areas were concreated
