The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[titoelcolombiano]

West Ham fans hate it.

It can't be done. The idea should not even be entertained for one second. Proven time and time again. Get it out of your head.

Oh don't worry it's out of my head. More importantly I want it out of the politicians' heads

Unfortunately politicians have zero understanding about sports. They are bean counters.

London's olympic stadium is roundly hated by West Ham fans because it is, you guessed it, an oval.

No amount of retractable seating and fancy lights can take away the horrible viewing experience.

Brisbane simply cannot make the same mistake Sydney and London have made before it.

Absolutely agree - for sports, multi-use is a folly.

There are football stadiums, athletics venues & ovals - each have their own intrinsic requirements.

Trying to cater to different requirements means compromises -and that degrades, and sometimes ruins the spectator experience.

Here in New Zealand we're only just getting out of that mindset & building separate rectangular stadiums & cricket ovals.

Hamilton rejected a multi-use proposal 20 or so years ago, Christchurch & Dunedin bulldozed and replaced their multi-use grounds with separate grounds, and Auckland might be in the process of moving on from Eden Park.

It would be a huge step BACKWARDS for Brisbane to go towards multi-use.

So what outcome do you want and how much will it cost ?

In athletics mode




In West Ham mode



It's quite easy to see why they hate it.

There could have been some merit in the oval being a new build around 50k, then the Gabba site could be used for a 20-25k stadium for the Roar & Reds. Upgrade Suncorp to 60-70k & build the new entertainment centre at Roma Street and Brisbane is set for the foreseeable future. 3 inner city, multi-tenanted stadiums and a new entertainment venue, all close to public transport.

It would have cost more than the allocated budget but at least that is ticking all boxes. The review had a chance to go in that direction, problem is they only wanted to tick one box and went for spending 2-3 stadiums worth of money on one at Victoria Park and nothing for the rest, then still went over budget, which is why it was knocked back.

$3.4b for a mid-sized oval, the 2nd most expensive ever built? GTFOOH.

I don't understand how a 40-50k stadium at Vic Park can cost $3.6 bil. That is some serious price gouging going on. Even with a station and more pedestrian access to the site from the nearby train line.

The architects behind the new stadium proposal to "save" us aren't even trying to hide their bias. It's supposedly an Olympic stadium but the mock up has AFL markings on it

The newly proposed $6B stadium that's going to "save" the Brisbane Olympics. Don't worry Govt has already shot it down

The article says there’ll be a wave pool too.

Straight out of comedy company this stuff.

We need some proposals for an upgraded or rebuilt Suncorp stadium

how do other sports get so much air time

Modern media is an outlet for grifters and bullshit artists.

Sanity will prevail.

I’m waiting to hear what our expert urban planners from Perth have to say.

They’ve done a degree you know.

I'll summarise their position. Brisbane needs a 60k oval for AFL against the wishes of the IOC or it will bring shame and dishounor on the nation.

Speaking of 60k stadiums. QSAC in its current configuration is 2k short of that, most of it 'temp' grandstands that have been there for decades. No reason why a refurb couldn't make that place at least 60 or 70k and it will cost nowhere near 1.6B
