Sunshine Coast stadium upgrade has been caught up in the 100 day review…

Gold Coast poised to poach Olympics events from Sunshine Coast amid stadiums delay

Growing uncertainty over the Sunshine Coast's flagship basketball stadium has been pounced upon by the Gold Coast, which says it is ready to host more Olympic events.

Now that cricket has abandoned Brisbane in November, it will further strengthen opportunities for international Rugby League at this time.

The Matildas are also capitalising and will be filling Suncorp and Cbus Stadiums next week.

will be interested to see what crowds they get. If they are good it might put some pressure on a few other cities to improve their rectangular facilities to get games - Canberra, Perth and Adelaide

Just looking at tickets for the Perth origin game and the stadium map seems to indicate that the extra 5k 'drop in' seats along the sidelines are on sale and going to be used.

Is anyone able to confirm this? Would it be the first time they have all been used and does rugby league have a shot at getting the crowd record this year?

Unlikely the AFL would agree to them on the pitch during their season but maybe it is something that has been agreed during the ongoing negotiations with the government for an NRL club?

Those 5k extra seats could bring a minimum of $500k extra revenue.

Hear the words ‘drop in’ one immediately knows it’s shit.

If we are talking cricket pitches than sure.

These stands may not be so bad. The front row of the bottom tier is raised about 2.5 or 3 metres above the field for oval sports, where these drop in stands add about 10 rows that are closer to the rectangular playing field.

Of course it won't be as good as suncorp/allianz sideline seats, but if they are to be used, they would be premium priced and a nice little bump in revenue for the ARLC.

I get where you're coming from but it's lipstick on a pig.

It's not the first time they've brought in the 'drop-in' seats mid-season, they did it for one of the Rugby Championship matches played at the venue (which would have been around August) as per the photo below.

The WA Government will want to try and sell as many tickets as possible for the match (considering the fee they put up to win the rights).

And for the first double header they had the stands on 3 sides, like the rugby game, which I had forgotten about.

They have never had all 4 sides installed that I know of and looking at that picture it seems they barely go past the boundary line, so the afl have nothing to complain about.

Does the WA government take the ticket sales revenue?
I just assumed it was like the GF deal and the NRL did.
The government makes the money back through interstate tourists.

The ends look closer to the field than accor stadium...

Close but no. The seats behind the posts at Accor are still closer.

Accor gets shit on all the time and rightly so but it still provides a much better view than any cricket oval for 95% of seating.

From memory they were used at the opening game in 2018 for NRl double header. they've also been used for Union test, that holds the ground record at 61.5k.
Dont think weve ever had the 4 stand drop in 5000 seats like was originally promised.
