The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Captain Apollo]

I had a good look at the outside of Bankwest Stadium when I drove past there this morning. Whilst it looks very good, my only slight concern is the back of the stands/roof. It looks very similar to what the SFS was like as the back wall does not join "flush" to the roof, which lets the air in. My only concern (and I hope I'm very wrong) is if it is like the SFS was on the top deck when it was first built, then it will let all the conditions in including the rain.

I really do hope I'm wrong.

Daley may have completely misread the stadiums issue

The Fairfax press are that out of touch with real issues/reality? stunned.

 

[Suitman]

Not surprised, I haven’t heard building of new stadium being an issue in any other part of Australia. In fact in every other major city the plebeians are very proud of there top quality sports stadiums.

That's not quite true is it?
I was under the belief that the new Perth Stadium suffered massive backlash during its planning stages and political arguments regarding spending so much, as did the new Adelaide Oval.

As for your second comment, yes, stadiums have been very welcomed once built in other states. But they went through pain to get them built.
I'm seriously hoping that the Libs get a majority.
In 4 years time, Allianz will be re-built and ANZ will be getting reconfigured.
All other infrastructure projects currently underway in Sydney will be complete, and new projects will progressing.

There’s significant overhang of the roof on the outside, unlike what it was at the SFS. I heard it explained that they had to leave it open as there was nowhere else air flow.

Coalition will be in govt, just a matter of minority or majority.

 

[Quidgybo]

Well that decides that. Election looks to have confirmed it too. We’re getting the big, gold-plated job at Moore Park.

Leigh.

Not in Perth, the only backlash was it took ten reports and numerous governments indecision of where to put it before it was finally built. Haven’t heard any negativity about it, it’s a lovely looking building that adds to the city area and as a venue is awesome, everyone is loving it.

Mind you it probably helped that they built a new children’s hospital and major hospital for southern suburbs at the same time!

Airflow? In a large stadium? There’s a big hole in the middle for air to come in lol

Open one window in your car/house vs two.

Take 1/2 my roof off and it would be very breezy lol

 

[beave]

don’t like to shit stir or self promote, but that felt good.

 

[Marlins]

So glad this bloody election is over

 

[tumbidragon]

See ya and your political grandstanding Daley Wanker.

Heated air in stands has elevated pressure compared to ambient (outside of stadium), incoming air increases localised pressure in the open part of the stadium because it has nowhere to go. With inadequate cross-ventilation, the heated and pressurised air is difficult to displace, especially at the back of the stands. Cross-ventilation also allows natural draughts resulting from heat generated in the stands.

Not talking massive differences in temp or pressure change but enough to make the spectators uncomfortable.

Voted Labor but their campaigning was basic and dreadful.

Consolation for me is that Gus Gould said a few months ago he believes Penrith will get a new 'state of the art' stadium by 2025 and he campaigned to get Ayres re-elected so maybe that's connected. Another consolation is that Peter Fitz, aka mr.stop wasting tax payer money despite being fine with the government wasting 20 million dollars on a rugby union centre in blacktown, is being forced to eat shit. So swings and roundabouts.

 

[Diesel]

Fitzgibbon is going to look quite the hypocrite in his corporate box knocking back a few cucumber sandwiches when the Wallabies are in town

 

[herbert henry1908]

Looks like a majority coalition govt to me now, obviously they’ll still have an interesting upper house to deal with though.

You’ve got a 100% drip line, that’s a lot of hot air getting trapped under the roof.

He will be the first one claiming a free corporate box at the new stadium for a Wannabes game. He and his feminazi wife are full of shit.

Be a shame if he ever wandered into Crip territory.
