The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[T-Boon]

The time for that was three years ago. Most of those parties didn't even bother to meet with the review teams.

It is never too late.

The NRL, Broncos, Maroons, Reds should apply pressure to the Qld government to make the new stadium for the olympics convertable to a rectangular configuration after the olympics.

And end up with another Homebush? No good for any code.

Wow, I just learned that the swans played at the toilet bowl for 14 years. I thought they gave up after one year.

Apparently they played 3 "blockbuster" games and finals there every year. Got some big crowds early but by the end they had trouble getting more than 30k in there.

Stupid f**king cocks. Ruined the stadium to play your shit games. When push came to shove nobody wanted you there. Cocks.

The AFL had to pay $1m and play those games there as part of the deal to keep it oval. The AFL would say money well spent, but it made the venue crap for all sports.

Not quite stadium related, what happened to the Titans Leagues club ?

Reading about it a few years ago, have not heard since.

Exactly. That would be better for the NRL than to leave it great for AFL. But actually I mean make it convertible to a proper rectangle. There is just no need for another oval. Gabba is fine for all oval sports.

Centre of excellence not a leagues club

Parkview ?

Spitballing here but with the Gabba getting knocked down and no official plan for the site that I know of, I wonder if there is any chance of building a new Rectangular stadium there in the future. Would there be room for a 80k ground?
if Suncorp can’t expand I wonder if miner refurbs and reduced capacity might serve. Regular club games plus Reds & Roar at a reduced Suncorp while the Dolphins & Broncos take marquee and Finals games to a new Gabba ground along with Origin, internationals, and major Concert events.

There is proposed plans for the Gabba site and it doesn’t involve a rectangular stadium.

What is it?

 

[Red&BlackBear]

What is it?

1. Green space and residential precinct with restaurants etc. or, 2. New Brisbane Entertainment Center. or, 3. New school similar to Brisbane South State Secondary College in Dutton Park.

Campbell Newman has suggested Northshore Hamilton as the location for the Olympic Stadium as an alternative to Victoria Park.

Maybe that site could be a location for a new 70k rectangular stadium down the track.

Meanwhile in Auckland, the council has endorsed upgrading Eden Park, a blow for the bid wanting to build a new stadium downtown.

The council doesn't want to put money into anything, but it sounds like they'll support Eden Park going cap-in-hand to Central Government for the $100mil Eden Park needs.

Auckland Council backs Eden Park upgrade over waterfront stadium

The decision — passed by 17 votes to 2 — agreed to begin discussions with central Government on the future of a "main stadium" for New Zealand.

Nope not the one at Parkview, it was going to be in Oxenford.

All of those ideas are crap.

Why in heck are they knocking the Gabba down? Man, the Olympics are horrible.

I see. Do What the AFL did to Homebush? Very sneaky. With the stands being build in an oval shape around a running track, it will only ever be oval, just like Homebush.

I’m no expert on Suncorp, been there only once at Magic Round last year but it seemed an awesome stadium as is.

What upgrade does it need ?

Brisbane should be aiming to be the only big city with a 70k rectangular stadium and thus get all the big NRL, Rugby and soccer games.

It is conceivable that a 65k oval ground (if it is a piece of shit like the MCG or Sydney Olympic Stadium) will never once be filled or even 70% full after the 2 weeks of Olympics.

Marketing mumbo jumbo for a crappy real estate development. Just as is happening at Victoria Park.
