The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[El Diablo]

As to the Eels, well they have made a huge financial loss in the last two years, so they may not have the money to start one at the moment.

they just spent a heap on a car park

 

[insert.pause]

Don't the Panthers already have a centre of excellence?

Dragons? Who knows. Might be they are a bit strapped financially.

I think the dragons were doing something with the UOW?

Dragons? Who knows. Might be they are a bit strapped financially.

If you want to save time and not read on, the summary is: our corrupt board of old boys realised this handout required an equal contribution, and that we don’t have a dollar to our names, let alone and plan for constructing a CoE.

The St George Illawarra Dragons would like to make comment regarding the New South Wales Government's collective $50 million funding of NRL Centres of Excellence.

The Dragons were aware of the State Government's intention to provide some funding to support the development of Centre of Excellence facilities for NRL clubs.

This process was communicated by the Government in late 2016, and the Dragons made an initial application in the first round of submissions due by the end of March 2017.

Through our discussions with Government representatives during this process it became apparent that the funds being allocated were not to the level that would support the requirements of all the clubs who were likely to apply.

There were also specific requirements about project readiness and cooperative funding that were to be considered.

The Dragons chose not to move forward with an application in the final round of applications and advised Government representatives accordingly at the time.

This has not in any way diminished our aspiration to develop a world class training, administration and community facility for the Dragons. Our plans are advanced and we have been working closely with two specific partners on a planning process over the last 12 months.

The funds being made available by the State Government, and shared between multiple clubs, would not provide us with sufficient capital to develop the facility we require which is why the Dragons continue to pursue alternate options.

It is also noted that the Dragons were successful in receiving $60 million in Government funding over recent years for our WIN Stadium and Jubilee Oval facilities.

 

[Diesel]

Big bash is getting huge crowds again..

And looking to increase season length

Could this f**k the anz rectangle ??

I mean in 5 years thunder could be getting 45k a game ??.

If GWS counters were employed, the Thunder would’ve got 80000 last night

Same ground, different codes.

Reading between the lines, that’s what I’m taking from it as well mate.

I would hardly call Gus Gould "a centre of excellence".
A lump of humanity perhaps.

This is worth a watch. Some really good concepts implemented into the design, and some not so good imo

Good
-unobstructed field views when going to the concession stands/toilets.
-all the disabled patron considerations
-restaurants and the brewery on the outside That can be used non-game day.
-the kids play areas around the stadium and the indigenious artwork.
- LED ribbon boards
-train station on the door step of the stadium
-quantity of female abultions.
-wide concession walkways


Bad
- having the players come through a bar area. They did this with the Minnesota Vikings new stadium and it was very awkwards when players with horrific injuries have to come off the field assisted and through the general punters area.
- having the public listening and watching in on the pre-match warm up, there is just some parts of the game we/general public just dont need to be privvy to, tactical info and what is being said just does not IMO need to be broadcasted to all and sundry
-similar to above, having the coaching box instructions piped to the punters in the seating next to the coaching boxes. By all means witnessing what goes on behind the glass is pretty cool to watch but what is being said does not need to be passed on. Whats to say the teams don’t plant their own staff in these premium seats and listen in to whats being said by the opposition coaching staff and pass the tactical info on...... i think it’s ridiculous and I don’t think it will take long for this feature to be disabled. Coaches and their staff should not have to be worried about what they say in heat of battle because their room is hot mic’d to 100 odd people sitting in the stands next to them.

Penriths COE was completed before this money was made available. It was reported they asked for a retrospective slice and were in happy when the govt declined.

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

BILLED as “taking rugby league into the next 100 years” when it first opened five years ago, the NRL’s $20 million League Central headquarters is at risk of being demolished.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal plans to rebuild Allianz Stadium away from the existing field, meaning the homes of some of Sydney’s biggest sporting organisations are in the path of the wrecking ball.

Rugby league’s governing body and fellow Moore Park tenants the Sydney Roosters, SCG Trust, Sydney FC and NSW Waratahs, will have to find temporary homes while the $700m redevelopment takes place. It is due to start late next year.

Shifting the new Allianz Stadium to the southwest of its current site will allow the Moore Park Rd side of the precinct to be more free-flowing for fans around the venue.

The NRL’s Moore Park headquarters could be demolished under the stadiums plans. Picture: Christian Gilles
The NRL has been notified that its headquarters may have to be partly or totally demolished. It has already drawn up plans to relocate to Sydney Olympic Park, where the NSWRL moved permanently in 2015, and return once the stadium is completed in 2021.

“Moving is certainly an option,” an NRL source said.

But the SCG Trust released a contrasting statement today that said: “The NRL’s headquarters, Rugby League Central, will not be demolished or partially knocked down as part of the development of a new Allianz Stadium.

“Rugby League Central will remain operational throughout the new venue’s construction and will be a vital part of the SCG precinct for many years to come.”

While the Roosters are also set to move, it won’t be that far. The Tricolours are in negotiations about moving their entire operations, potentially permanently, along Driver Ave to the Entertainment Quarter, owned by John Singleton and Gerry Harvey.

The pair and investor Mark Carnegie bought the leasehold of the Entertainment Quarter in 2014 for $80 million and desperately want the Roosters as tenants.

The Roosters secured a $5.7m State Government grant this week to help build a new centre of excellence, a project which the club has budgeted at between $10-$11 million. It could also be built at the Entertainment Quarter.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg might by king of nothing if the code’s HQ is demolished.
Roosters chairman Nick Politis is canvassing all ideas, including moving into a new multi-level building, along with the SCG Trust and Sydney FC, on the existing Allianz Stadium car park. The building could be called Sports Central.

The Roosters could remain in their current building, adjacent to Allianz Stadium, for two more years before shifting directly into Sports Central.

All options are “on the table”, with the Roosters searching for the best financial option. No relocation costs have been formulated.

Sydney FC and the SCG Trust may need to relocate temporarily. Both are housed in the same administration building next to the Roosters.

The Waratahs, who were also based at Moore Park, have just relocated to David Phillips Field in Daceyville, a ground run by University of NSW.

The Roosters also face the prospect of being homeless during the rebuild.
It is understood the Cricket NSW building, with its indoor training centre right next to Allianz Stadium, is safe for now, although the dwelling is becoming old and outdated.

Plans are preliminary and all options are being considered by all stakeholders. There are numerous possibilities.

The Allianz Stadium pool and gymnasium will also be casualties in the redevelopment. The burning question is where the new carpark will be constructed, with suggestions it may go underground.

Another option is the Roosters and Sydney FC moving into the Trust offices to ease concerns about relocation during stadium construction.

The Trust would then temporarily work out of demountables.

The Australian Rugby Union recently moved into the new UTS building next to Allianz Stadium but that dwelling won’t be knocked down.

Sydney FC’s offices are in Moore Park but the club trains at Macquarie University.

So will the odd trial match

It is a stunning looking stadium from outside and compliments the river front environment very well. I reckon the middle tier is going to be the best viewing spot but will be interesting to see how it goes with the 5000 drop in seats that will be more sideline but low elevation. Cant wait until the Dbl header to try it out and Origin will be something special I'm sure. It will never be RL main ground but for special events and, one day hopefully, Pirates finals games it is a beauty.

I wouldn't doubt the Parramatta Leagues Club did. I was referring to the football club which (if I remember correctly) had posted losses totalling around $10 million spread over the past 2 years.

another good is the all toilets and concession stands on the outside of the circumference. can't understand how they managed to f**k this up with the design of homebush bay oval

apparently Gerry Harvey wants to help the roosters move their centre of excellence

This stuff caters to corporate wankers who probably wouldn't have a clue who's playing.
