The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Pjf04b]

If it costs $309 mil to upgrade Penrith, do you really think they can make Accor rectangular and covered for $600 mil?
Dream on!!

 

[Jonno]

$600 mill was a number thrown out there.
We all know the redevelopment will be at least $2 Bill

They don't even need to touch the stands. Just demolish the concourse area and continue the stand's rake all the way to the field.

-Translucent Roof

I think Auckland FC are being very smart here.
They've had a cracking first season with oversized (even unpredicted success) crowds but at some stage they won't be drawing similar attendances when they have less successful seasons. That's just what happens. Their record crowd this season has been over 27 000. Larger than the Warriors have had.
Playing in a smaller stadium and creating demand is where it's at.
They can always take larger games back to Mt Smart if they need to.
It's a nice treat to be owned by an American billionaire who can afford to build his own stadium.
Also, that picture looks as though that the stadium could be easily expanded to a much larger capacity if needed.

I wonder if that Auckland FC ground has provision for "in goal" areas that can accomodate rugby union/league?

It could be a decent ground for local club rugby (union) and Auckland NPC (provincial rugby union), which could use a small boutique stadium.

Why is soccer so obsessed with building their own grounds when it's clearly not viable in Aus & NZ rather than working with us to get facilities upgraded?

 

[Jonty]

Waste of money

waste of money for me.

why not spend the money on upgrading mount smart stadium for the benefit of both the warriors and Auckland FC?

Maybe the American billionaire could buy mount smart stadium and upgrade it for both the warriors and Auckland fc?

100% this.

That would be amazing. If only

Parra Stadium worked out great for league and probably way too big for soccer.
You would think in Auxkland between Rugby, RL and soccer a great 40k stadium is a must.

New York FC play soccer out of Yankee stadium and they do a good job of fixing the odd shaped field with seating inside the regular fence. NRL could try same/similar at Stadium Australia for smaller games - especially at the ends. They dont have to be shyte house seats - way back in the next suburb - they could be desirable seats right up close.

Partly cultural, the European clubs generally own their stadiums and partly business opportunity, if done well can help generate revenue.

Would love to see a decent stadium design that had three tiers of 20k each and you could close off or open up each tier as needed depending on the popularity of the sport. But done properly so it doesn’t feel like youre in an empty stadium if there’s only 17k in it. Surely in this day and age some smart architect and engineer could come up with a solution ?

Rugby league ones are too big for their crowd levels

5k at lang park being the worst example

The benefit for them is better rectangular facilities for their national teams and better facilities for Soccer Australia to bid for world cups

 

[Jonno]

And the price?

Who cares.
If Perth can spend $1.6 Billion,then Sydney can spend $2 Billion plus.
Perths spend includes $700 million on the surround infrastructure which Sydney Olympic Park doesnt need any more apart from whats planned(Metro and Light Rail)
