Is there a exclusive "soccer" stadium anywhere in Australia?
There is a bunch of cool little soccer "stadiums" even just in Newcastle.
Local Rugby League teams seem fine with playing on ovals or fields (Maitland, Lakes, West Rosellas, Souths) but small soccer clubs take pride in turning their venue into little mini caldron with bleacher stadiums etc (Broadmeadow, Lambton Jaffas for example).

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
I think AFL have a full-time department just working around the clock on this kind of thing. They get AFL people onto local councils, goal posts on these renders, I recon they would have been a part of the push to get the olympics to Brisbane etc.
I think of them almost like Mossad - coming up with clever little plans etc.

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)
NRL should be pushing hard for a new Liverpool Stadium that can shared by Tigers, Bulldogs, the A League and special events. Accor should be a complete knock down rebuild in the 2030s.

Problem is the government would want Bulldogs at least playing at Accor if they’re going to invest in a full rebuild. Unlikely they’d fund Liverpool as well as an Accor rebuild.

Got any examples of this?

I'm talking about grown up sports mate, not 4th tier stuff
