The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Canard]

It's literally in the stadium report.
You can dislike a fact, but it won't make it untrue...

Athletics Australia seems wholly supportive of this too.

Athletics Australia supports Queensland Government’s view on QSAC | Australian Athletics

Athletics Australia and Queensland Athletics applaud the common-sense approach of Queensland Premier Steven Miles and Minister for State Development and Infrastructure, the Honourable Grace Grace, in upgrading the Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre (QSAC) ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Games...

$1.6B on it seems overly excessive, though.

Listen I'm glad all these so called RL fans are lobbying hard for Athletics stadia.

Agreed, it's a huge amount which is why it should be spent wisely and not wasted on white elephant stadium that no-one here has asked for, and who's legacy would've been primarily a single, second-tier sports franchise.

This will be a full knockdown/rebuild & a downsize afterwards, and includes transport links.
It will leave us (and Australia) with an actual, tangible legacy after the games are over.

RL fans on an a RL forum arguing about this, and the associated work on LP, is a little bit weird to me.

I don't think it will get anywhere near $1.6B to be honest.

Personally I don't give a f**k about athletics but would rather they benefit from the games than fumbleball... Petty? Yes. But I think it would be a crime if our biggest and best stadium in Brisbane was an oval.

Brisbane bid for these games and literally didn't have a single f**king clue about the venues that would hold them

Qld Labor says Hi!

Been like that since Beattie in the mid-90s.

 

[Vlad59]

The fumblers have claimed qld despite every metric proving they are lying. They will be desperate to get their ground completely upgraded. Labor hasn’t fall for it. The Libs?

Yeh let’s bag the guy that was responsible for rebuilding lang park into the best rugby league stadium on the planet

No bid, they put their hand up when nobody else would. It’ll all work out

She’ll be right. Brisbane having the Olympics is embarrassing

Which is why the IOC doesn’t want a 3 billion dollar stadium spend. It needs to attract more bidders in the future and stadium cost like this can be a deterrent.

Brisbane should ask Sydney to help out and Sydney host a few things including the opening ceremony and the men’s 100m track final and Brisbane can have the rest.

Host it on the harbour like Paris is doing on the river.

Host it on the harbour like Paris is doing on the river.

The diving events could be held there as well then

I know Sydney and Melbourne have this snobby, cultural cringe attitude towards Brisbane but the games will look good in south east QLD, the region is literally a giant outdoor playground. Brisbane will look fine too with its shimmering skyscrapers along the river, Queens wharf casino, Brisbane Live arena at Roma Street.

It’s an okay city.
At the same time I think it will top Atlanta for the biggest WTF city in Olympics history.

Yep this.

We might be at the point now that cities don’t host Olympics but countries do
