Not sure where you're getting that from. The plan was to bring all the lower and middle stands in closer to the pitch and improve roof coverage for the lower areas. This was by far the best thing they could have done with Accor and would have met the needs of three NRl clubs. As is we have half a stadium for one club come out of the discussions.


The seating at the top tier would remain, and would spend over $800 million to reduce capacity from 83,000 to 70,000. Sydney's population will continue to grow over the next few decades. It won't stay at over 5 million, as it currently is today.

By 2035, build a new 80k rectangular stadium. Do it properly.

Suncorps had a pitch upgrade*. Maybe less patchy and sandy now?

We’ve recently completed an exciting field upgrade, rolling out 10,125m² of HG Hero Hybrid turf featuring Wintergreen Couchgrass - designed with cutting-edge technology for superior drainage, durability and a natural feel!
☝
Phase 1 - 3,300m² turf replaced post-Travis Scott to prepare for Brisbane Roar v Sydney FC.
✌
Phase 2 - 6,825m² turf replaced post-Brisbane Roar v Sydney FC to prepare for the Matildas v Brazil and upcoming Brisbane Roar home games as shown in the timelapse
📽

With just 5% artificial grass, our hybrid turf system keeps a natural feel and triples our playing capacity - setting us up for an action-packed summer season and ensuring a world-class playing surface for our massive 2025 event schedule!
