re why the need for a new sfs. Check last paragraph

Premier Dominic Perrottet declared an end to half-time beer and bathroom queues as he opened the controversial $828 million Allianz Stadium that almost cost his government an election.

Blessed with a sparkling Sydney winter’s day, the premier and his entourage officially opened the entertainment facility on Sunday ahead of its opening ceremony in the evening, with live performances from Guy Sebastian and Baker Boy.

Women now have almost six times as many toilets to choose from – 600, up from 113 – while the number of wheelchair and companion-accessible seats has increased from 28 to more than 500 at the new stadium.



f**k off Vlandys you merkin

Less than four weeks after publicly sparring with the premier over funding for local stadiums and the NRL grand final, rugby league tsar Peter V’landys said he was reserving judgment on the new Allianz stadium for now.

“The stadium is in its honeymoon period,” he told the Herald. “Its real test is when it’s analysed in 12 months.”
V’landys said he would not be at the opening ceremony on Sunday night, but instead would attend “the real opening when the greatest game for all is played next Friday night.”

Then why are Sydney nrl clubs sponsorship revenues way below afls and some of the nrl clubs in other cities? Why is our fta deal significantly lower than afl if the advertising market is Sydney? Hmmm somethings not adding up in your argument.

3 Capital cities to 2.

A simple google search confirms it all really

What’s that got to do with individual club sponsorships? Surely if as you claimed the majority of the corporates and advertising spend is in Sydney you’d expect a) Sydney clubs to have the biggest corporate revenues in the country and b) fta in Sydney raking in advertising $’s and willing to pay more for nrl content.

neither is happening ergo your point of more corporates is irrelevant in a sporting business context.

Sydney is the biggest market
Sydney has the most top companies
Sydney has the most millionaires

That is fact

Which once again are all clearly irrelevant as it isn’t translating to sports clubs sponsorships and corporate sales. ie sponsorship revenue for 21 Sydney v non Sydney sports clubs

Broncos $12.7mill, Essendon $11.8million, nq cowboys $8.9mill Dockers $8.9million NQ Cowboys $8.9mill, WC Eagles$11.5mill

eels $7.9mill
roosters $6.9mill
panthers $6mill
sharks $4mill

tell us again about all the corporates in sydney lol

Disagree, company execs like to wine and dine themselves and customers in opulence, new stadiums with state of the art corporate facilities are a much easier sell than the hovels they are replacing, stadiums should help the Sydney clubs who use the new opportunities lift their game in corporate sales areas.
What impact has it had on the Parramatta Eels?

I'd like to see their corporate box sales before and after the rebuild of Parramatta Stadium.

All nine Sydney clubs would see an improvement if they played at state of the art facilities, but they will always be competing with one another for a limited resource. There's no way they'll grow as much as they could if there was just six or seven clubs across the city.

Eels
2019 at Accor
sponsorship and corporate sales $5.9mill
membership sales And gate takings $2.8mill

2021 at commbank
sponsorship and corporate sales $7.9mill
membership sales And gate takings $4.9mill

an increase of $4.1million! 2016 annual report no longer availble to compare in the old stadium.

Haha. 8k (looked about half that) at parra for tigers. But I thought shinny new stadium boosts crowds..?!
Would have drawn 5k at suburbia. Stadiums aren’t the only answer, they are part of the answer.

did you watch the game? Would you have paid $50 to watch that quality?
quality stadiums can only do so much and remove one of the excuses for not attending.
price, form, experience, convenience. Time etc all contribute. Dragons and tigers fighting it out for minor premiership gets 25k in there, which would not be achievable in their other two slums.
