I agree. .and the height part is right!... So cut the Brewongle and Clive Churchill stand and right on off stump build a greater height stand than the victor- what a land mark 20 stores high- and can watch sharp in-cutter take out off stump. Perfect view.
I know, they are heritage listed, and nearly 150 years old! Would those other three stands would be the only ones remaining from the 1980s at any major stadium?
Those stands are older then the SFS, and have similar issues around access (disability as well as emergency). If you add more seats if makes these matter worse. Lipstick on a pig, as people here love to say.
All this malarkey over a two week sporting event ffsThe Mayne event: Concept promises to put 2032 Games back on the rails
An ambitious plan promises to put the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games back on track. Literally.www.brisbanetimes.com.au
how achievable is this concept at bowen hills? bloke says all they "need" to do is move railway yards. sounds like a complicated process to me. thoughts?
or is the horse track a better idea?
so far we gots:
gabba precinct
victoria park
hamilton shore lines
bowen hills railway yard
doomben horse track
qe2 location
maybe but wont it be turned into cricket, aussie rules and event stadium after? so itll be a decades long investment really
why wouldn't you just put it 500m north-east at Albion dog track and Alan Border field? rather than remove the rail yard. Sound like that would be very expensive.The Mayne event: Concept promises to put 2032 Games back on the rails

I don’t acknowledge the existence of those trivial pursuits thank you!
I would suggest extremely difficult and costly to build where the railway yards and zero chance of happening. Doomben would also be very unlikely as is just a thought bubble from the Gold Coast Mayor. In terms of location I believe the best location is the RNA Showgrounds and getting the RNA to relocate to Albion. That is very unlikely as well. I think it will come down to Victoria Park or a redeveloped Gabba. There will be protests regardless of what is picked so I think the Government will be hoping to cop a bit of pain initially and hope everyone has moved on by the time of the next election. One of the many hospital passes from the previous government to deal with.The Mayne event: Concept promises to put 2032 Games back on the rails

the showgrounds, pavilion and old museum would probably all need to be relocated and they're all heritage buildings. No chance.
For them to just "handwave" away the Rail stabling yards, shows they are not serious.
Just stop.
