The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[st george dragons]

There's a redevelopment of Henson Park as we speak - with no major sporting events there. Costing $12.5m. And only the Newton Jets play there, as well as the Women's Sydney Swans AFL team.

Then some money can be spent on Leichhardt Oval too. Yes, very handful of Wests Tigers games are held there. But I think some A-League has played there too (men's and women's comp) in recent times too. Agree that there's not enough "big professional games a year" there. Extra trials matches for the NRL? Women's NRL can play more games there? I dunno.

Leichardt upgrade is good for league. I

Dragons fans always make the most sense.

yep it’s good for rugby league in general, lots of women’s and juniors can be played there, as well as the occasional nrl game. Better than upgrading more local ovals.

The future main ground for wests tigers is either:
- A rebuilt or upgraded Campbelltown
- a new liverpool stadium shared with bulldogs
- a rebuilt Accor with a 45k club mode configuration

They can continue to use leichardt for trial games and 1-2 historical games (vs Souths or dragons)

Then for games against bulldogs and parra they should move to Accor and build them up to 50k+ crowds (if they’re at Campbelltown or Liverpool)

Given Balmain is only 9km to allianz stadium is there any reason they arent playing there?

The AFL is contributing $4.5m to Henson Park. The helps get things moving.

The NRL needs to decide what the end game (say, 2035) is for Sydney NRL stadia, and work backwards from there.

Even better there’s a light rail link literally five mins from leichardt oval direct to Allianz stadium with loads of parking too

You only see logos emblazoned across stadium designs when it's soccer or AFL . Seems like 'stadium spending' are only dirty words when RL is exclusively benefitting

 

[kurt faulk]

.

They're seriously building that? Surely that can't cost more than $20m to build.

The Panthers are definitely not getting value for money.

Anyone have details ?

Penroth new stand looks a carbon copy of the hbf park east stand, without the corporate open air seating. The view is awesome but roof only covers around 60-70% of the stand.

Is there a exclusive "soccer" stadium anywhere in Australia?

Perry Park in Brisbane if you consider it a stadium.

 

[Trifili13]

Coopers Stadium where Adelaide United play in the A League would be closest large scale soccer only stadium, holds about 16.5k and only because they hardly play any league or union in SA.

No I think the fans also have to put it together themselves but the instructions come with it.

Loads In Sydney

Many clubs from the failed nsl have their own grounds

So do ones In Melbourne

No, it's not viable. However, when there is a common use rectangular stadium built, you'll often see the renders with soccer goals in place rather than the dominant sport.

Ovals get AFL posts in the renders, not cricket pitches. Even the Brisbane Olympic Stadium agenda was in full view. The renders were of an AFL field, no athletics track in sight

Brothers Valleys played a few seasons there 20 years ago.

if it ever gets the redevelopment the Broncos NRLW would surely swap across
