Future NRL Stadiums

[Green Machine]

Attached a big room on the back of the private boxes on the Eastern Grandstand. Looks like a corporate hospitality suite. Also, put elevators up to the corporate area,

We're not called Canterbury Bankstown you dope. That section was dropped first in 1995 and again in 1999.

Recovery sessions are often held in pools or beaches. Beaches will obviously have to be in Cronulla, St George or Eastern Suburbs areas. Pools from this year for recovery sessions would be in the Olympic Park facility.

I don't see how Homebush Bay is far out of our area (IMO it's still in it).

The surface of the "LG Family Hill", often populated with skanky teens, turns to mush the moment the rain falls.

The options when leaving ANZ include the Brewery across the road, or a short drive to Canterbury Leagues at... wait for it - Belmore! As for your comment accusing our supporters of unsavoury behaviour, I'll just laugh. It's pathetic you have to resort to that crap.

The Bulldogs left Belmore for a number of reasons, including the expiration of their lease, their desire for better facilities and yes, safety of the players. The football offices themselves were fine but the Grandstand itself is getting quite bad.

You act as if there's shame for moving with the times. Everything changes you know ;-)

Not everything changes. Cronulla's premiership tally has never changed.

A valid, true and f**king hilarious point. :lol: :lol: :lol:

How is Homebush bay in the Bulldogs area Tim tam?
Its Wests Tigers/Balmain turf.

 

[SouthsSupportUnlimited]

hey now lets not bag a good thing here!

as for shark land. its ok to go to 3 times or so a season and stand on the hill.

id rather it was Suncorp but what ever.

the locals are dressed like that most of the time, no need to go to shark park, just go to carmens every friday/saturday night.

 

[Panther_Daz]

What were they doing to it?

Put new corporate boxes in,new lifts, offices for the Western Sydney Academy,offices for Panthers on the Prowl charity and new ctaering facilities downstairs.

 

[LeagueXIII]

I read last year they were going to build a stand at the southern end, is this still on the cards?

*bigass bump*

With all the talk this off season focussing on the IC and expansion is there any plan for the Bears stadium to be upgraded with the second tier to go around the northern end? It looks very cramped but then again the Gabba redevelopment wasn’t easy either.

The current capacity is only 20K which means even with a few sellouts each season they’ll still be averaging in the mid-to-high teens. I just can’t help but that think they’d be better off with a few thousand extra seats for the big games.

They would need 10'000 more id say. Shouldnt be too hard to updrade.

 

[Perth Red]

would be a struggle without being able to build on that open end. Would require a whole new 2 grandstands which are not cheap!

 

[Timmah]

A second level at the northern end should be a priority, would heighten the atmosphere for certain. There are also major plans on the table to change Gosford's Waterfront, which may involve movement or alteration to the Highway next to the stadium. This could provide space for the southern end to be developed in the coming decade...

Given how marginal the seats of Robertson (Aus) and Gosford (NSW) are, I can't see money being a problem ;-)

 

[Perth Red]

depends on if they can build on or have to demolish and start again. A large new grandstand can cost $100mill+ which isn;t small change! The redeveloped waterfront sounds the best option allowing them to finish the stadium off with a 10k end stand.

 

[Timmah]

Did you not listen?

Being a marginal seat at both state and federal level, I cannot see $$$ being an issue.

 

[Perth Red]

When was the last time anyone in NSW got $100mill+ for stadium works?

They're upgrading stands, not building a new one.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

olympics id say

 

[Cheesie-the-Pirate]

When was the last time anyone in NSW got $100mill+ for stadium works?

EnergyAustralia I think at last count was about $92m to $98m ($32m on eastern stand, $60m to $68m on western stand).

Victor Trumper Stand at the SCG was $70m.

ANZ Stadium reconfiguration was $80m.

To get to the full 9 figures on a single ground/project you'd have to go back to the Olympics.

then that would be much cheaper. did they design the stands, footings etc for future expansion? if so well done for the rare forsight in stadum design!

I know building in WA is much more expensive but the replacement main stand at NIB is set to cost $82.5million.

Id say that a 30'000 seater stadium would do them just fine and im sure that an extra level on top of the northern end and joining the northern end with the grandstands should fit enough.

If absolutley necessary, a 3rd tier on the grandstands shouldn't be too hard. But that would break the $100million mark.
