I’m sure most of the people turning up wouldn’t have stepped foot into that park for the last 6 months. The putt putt, driving range and dining venues might get a bit of use, but most of the park doesn’t see much activity. It certainly didn’t get much use as a golf course. If there is something inner Brisbane does well, it is Nimbyism.

70k is too small for major events.
GF, Origin, Internationals of all codes, marquee games, all need a bigger capacity.
a total knock down and rebuild.
Sydney’s main stadium Should be 80k-100k.

I disagree. Sydney is not sports mad enough to justify a stadium any bigger than 70k. That would be perfect.

Springfield is a training facility, with a single grandstand that holds 650. Most/all other NRL/AFL clubs have similar, mostly paid for by state governments and contributed to by local government that want an extra 200 well paid people working in their area. It has nothing to do with the stadium for the Olympics. A bigger or new rectangular stadium is not required for the Olympics, that is why is is not near the top of the agenda.

The Gabba needs replacing within a decade anyway, so by combining that with the Olympic build it will actually be cheaper in the long run and leave more money for other projects.

I think we all agree that 60k is excessive. 45k - 50k is perfect.

A new or upgraded rectangular stadium for Queensland’s number 1 sport will be a vote winner and will come soon enough after the Olympics.

30k tops

Rebuild the current stadium or give it a paint job and use the money saved on the stadium that Queensland really needs

45k - 50k is perfect.

That’s excessive
