The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Perth Red]

When it is done one of the western Sydney teams should relocate to the city and the eastern suburbs so that the NRL can try to expand into AFL territory.

the Western Sydney Rabbitohs maybe?

LED curtain has been scrapped unfortunately.

We now have a stadium that’ll be 2/3 empty for 90% of its events. Absolute joke.

But those $18,400 per empty seat will look awesome!

Oh well. It's not that big a deal. The SFS sounded pretty good even with a small crowd. The new one will be better.

What a set up! That's easily the new bench mark in the NRL. Its reaching NFL and European soccer levels.

Just. f**king. Make. It. Canvas.

What the f**k is this bullshit? Can’t afford the LED curtain so there will be no club mode?

It’s like going ‘I need a car, but I only have $35,000. Since I can’t afford a Maserati, I can’t get anything’.

I feel like I’m taking f**king crazy pills listening to them talk about this.

It’ll undoubtedly be better, but this is a huge missed opportunity. An opportunity that comes around once every 30-40 years. For $800m the NSW taxpayers & the tenants of the stadium deserved more than just “better”

 

[seanoff]

So Lendlease were right!!!

Its +$90M after removing a $50 - $60M feature. The govt should be ashamed, they wont be of course. So the original $780M was out by a mere $150M. So only 20% out.

It will inevitably blow out by a bit. So the original design would be about $1B for a 45000 seat stadium. F*** me. A $22,000 a seat stadium. Just a stadium. No train stations, no associated malls, apartment complexes, hotels etc. just 45000 seats surrounding a rectangle of grass. Its not a retractable roof, or field. Wow.

Its $300M more than a upsized Bankwest.

It Must be the Rolls Royce of stadiums. I’m expecting reclining leather seats for all with personal video screens with in seat ordering, in seat USB ports, and foot rests at the very least.

Andrew Webster wrote an interesting article today in the Herald about it, especially about the LED curtain and "club" mode which I found illuminating, following is the interesting part -

Nothing quite captures the chaos of this project, however, like the infamous "LED curtain" that allows the stadium to switch to an intimate “club” mode when only 7000 people turn up to watch the Roosters thrash the Gold Coast Titans on a wet Saturday night in the middle of winter.

The Curtain is actually a myth. No other stadium in the world has it. The technology doesn’t exist.

At the March 2018 announcement, then sports minister Stuart Ayres was asked if there was any money for “two modes” and he said no. There is no money for “two modes” in the $828 million rebuild the Premier announced on Wednesday.

If this part is accurate, then someone has really been selling a bill of good about this.

Edit: Fixed a typo.

The clubs seem to swear blind that they were promised the intimate mode, so something weird is going on. Personally I don’t trust Stuart Ayres at all, he could’ve been telling the clubs one thing and doing another.


Also the technology isn’t a myth, at least not the curtain part. We know of several other stadiums that have them. They don’t need to be LED.

Still blows me away we’re getting something this nice in North Qld. So keen

I’m still shaking my head about that roof line. After all the half arsed stadiums we’ve had built for the game over the years, you'd think we’d finally learned the lesson of not favouring form over function. But nope, still got prime seats ten rows back on halfway located outside the drip line.

The roof line may be related to the wind issues up there. More roof means more chance of the wind getting a hold of it.

Plus for the NRL season there’s not much rain past April.

not been in any stadium in Australia where the roof covers all seats (marvel excluded!) bit of wind it’s even worse. Can’t believe it saves much money when you consider the discomfort of thousands of fans in inclement weather

It barely rains in Townsville during footy season.

For this climate, it’s fair.

I think when this stadium is opened the NRL should relocate the Sharks to Sydney. The city of Sydney needs a big club. The Sydney Sharks would be a good name because Sydney is a city known for its water and its dangerous animals. I think that could be a thing the kids could get behind.

 

[Valheru]

Over two billion dollars for three stadiums for four nrl teams that only takes events from each other.

What a monumental failure of a plan by a monumental failure of a government.

The stadiums aren't just for rugby league teams.
