The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[MugaB]

A bit like V'landys and the Sydney RL media pushing the Bears on Perth. I hate to say it, but NSWRL fans are just as narrow-minded and selfish as their VFL counterparts.

The new topic donkey want to push onto every thread, no bears in perf.... whatever happened to relocating Canberra to Adelaide or Dragons to Singapore (you know coz Asians luv the Dragon)

He really is a dog with a bone whenever he gets a new thought in his head.
Usually after his last thought has been completely destroyed by reality.

Media Release: New Image shows devastating impact of AFL stadium on Hobart’s waterfront heritage - No New Stadium

Our Place has released a new architectural render showing the devastating impact the Cox designed AFL stadium will have on Hobart’s celebrated urban heritage.

nonewstadium.au

You can imagine the brawl this will lead to with greenies and other conservation and heritage minded people. Meanwhile the afl lost their battle to have the COE plonked in the middle of the city and are now demanding it be placed in the middle of Clarence thus killing off our parklands. Building it will cause traffic chaos and it’s very unpopular. Council has been forced by locals into a formal referendum on the matter. Long way to go with this one folks.

Is that the same Cox who designed the prior SFS with 60% plus with no cover, poor facilities for women? The same guy who designed it wasn't into any football code ,and his crap design sure reflected this.
As far as the Hobart thingy may it take as long as possible, I'm all for the AFL not getting their own way all the time.

Yes, same Cox Architects.
They actually designed the new Allianz and got it right this time. Only because they f**ked it up so badly the first time and were under the pump this time after the new Parra Stadium got everything so right.
It helped that they had an open cheque book from the State Govt.

Why are you going on about this? It is not a future NRL stadium. It will be oval. It’s happening. Get over it.

It’s touted as a future stadium for all codes. Luke marvel . You know the ground you keep crapping on about

Why would you pay to upgrade something you do not own? If you rent, you can't change any fixtures or fittings without the owners approval, and if you do, they get the long term benefit as you can't take it with you when your lease ends.

AFL through in $1m to accor 25 years ago and that $1m ensured it was rebuilt an oval

Strategic investment

Which was a dumb waste of money because they then abandoned playing matches there because it's a shit stadium.

Not so strategic investment

 

[Kurt Angle]

It prevented RL from getting a dedicated rectangular stadium in Sydney when they were in the initial stages of recovering from super league.

24 years later, were seeing the impact of purpose built stadiums now.

I'd say it was a very strategic investment

And people question rugby league getting funds for stadiums

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I question your obsession with afl.

Future NRL stadiums II is the name of the thread.

It's Perth Red's fault

 

[Wb1234]

Not so much stadiums but property related the dogs have bought a shopping centre around Newcastle way for 6 million dollars

They could probably fit their entire fanbase in a 5k capacity stadium and still have empty seats.

Media now going with a $2b price tag for QSAC. Early suggestions were the $1.6b would include transport but they’ve added $400m on to cover transport. Also still calling it “the Olympic stadium” and ignoring the fact Suncorp will be used as the “face of the games” and host the ceremonies. Queensland government probably could have given more info by now to squash this sort of speculation though to be fair.


The first image of Brisbane’s planned Olympic stadium – the smallest since Amsterdam 1928 – can now be revealed.
The photocopied image of the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre, obtained by this masthead through the Right to Information Act, shows a single permanent covered grandstand, with most of the crowd exposed to the elements in uncovered temporary seating.
Unusually for a summer Olympics, Brisbane 2032 will be held in the middle of winter.

The no-frills QSAC Olympic stadium, designed by architecture firm Populous, would hold just 40,000 spectators and be downsized to 14,000 after the Games. Populous also designed the Suncorp Stadium rebuild in the early 2000s.

QSAC was sensationally chosen as Brisbane’s main Olympic stadium in March, when the planned $2.7 billion rebuild of the Gabba was formally abandoned.
In choosing QSAC, Premier Steven Miles rejected the signature recommendation of the Olympic venues review, which he commissioned, to determine the best site for the main Brisbane 2032 stadium.
That review was led by Graham Quirk, a former Brisbane lord mayor, who recommended a new stadium be built at Victoria Park at an estimated cost of $3.4 billion.
Instead, Miles took Australian Olympic supremo John Coates’ advice and announced QSAC.
The Quirk review estimated the cost of building a mostly temporary Olympic stadium at QSAC at about $1.6 billion, but Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said at least a further $400 million would be required to provide adequate public transport to the venue, which is a 3.1-kilometre walk from the nearest train station, Banoon.


In answers to a federal inquiry into Brisbane’s preparedness to host the Games, the Queensland government confirmed the $2.7 billion that would have been spent on the Gabba rebuild would instead be spent on QSAC and two other venues.
“The Queensland government provided funding which, prior to the [Quirk-led] Sport Venue Review, was to be the $2.7 billion upgrade to the Gabba, which will now support investments to be made in QSAC, Suncorp Stadium and the Gabba,” the state government told the inquiry.
Business leaders have continued to pressure the Miles government – and the David Crisafulli-led opposition – to reconsider their opposition to the Victoria Park proposal.
Local community groups, meanwhile, remain vehemently opposed to a stadium occupying any part of the expansive inner-city green space.

Following the publication of this story, a Department of State Development and Infrastructure spokesperson said the image was “illustrative only and does not reflect a final reference design for QSAC”.
“The project validation report process, including for QSAC, involves consultation with a range of stakeholders, both internal and external to government, and [is] often supported by briefing material such as presentations, with images to aid discussions,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
As the project progressed, the spokesperson added, more renders would be developed, “with input from Stadiums Queensland, technical advisors, the Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee, and other stakeholders”.
Tuesday’s date marks eight years until Brisbane 2032 is set to begin, the event scheduled to run July 23 to August 8, 2032.
