well according to a few in here
1) needs to be a 900 thousand seater
2) needs superluminal internet access so people can update facebook on avg 463 times per set of 6.
3) Must be a roof built from the front door of every supporters house that will keep them covered at all times on the journey to and from home and whilst at the game. At no time must a drop of water touch a supporter.
Under no circumstance should a supporter be subjected to any natural light what so ever.
4)All teams must play out of a the same stadium that is only conveniently located for the fans of 1 team.
5) every seat will have its own designated waiter .
6) Naked woman will hand out money during every video referee decision.
Then the NRL will be up to standard.
yeh, its quite funny too.
If we take a look at soccer stadia built 20-30 years ago - they have it all over rugby league grounds. We just need to avoid ovals in the middle of no where rather than fall into the trap of thinking minor "cool" things will draw people out to the ground.
You don't need whizz bang over decent seating, sightlines, and great transport to the stadium, and something that generates decent atmosphere.
Christ, good if its accurate!!
Nearly fell out of my chair here. The $1.2B actually makes everything SUPER EASY IF TRUE. Sydney will be set.
There's a good reason the nrl has pumped in tens of millions into the lobbying/feasibility studies of Allianz future. They clearly see it as the future Sydney NRL stadium.
Sydney does t need two big stadium/sporting precincts, it would be better investing in one and developing its small outer suburban grounds to a high quality. Makes sense to build a 65k roofed new Allianz and either use ANZ for big events only like Wembley does or to pull the place down and use it for housing.
In the best world we can imagine, ANZ just reduces capacity to 70ish, whatever, and make the thing a rectangle, adjust its seats, whatnot. I dont know, because ANZ is a bugbear in certain ways. Maybe it doesn't need touching, and either way I dont think it should get much money.
We should not worry about it, having Alliance in the city, and improved stadia elsewhere seems the way to go.
Case in point:--> Just build them 25-38,000k -- and if its anything the article and general knowledge tell us, is that stadia get upgraded if they are required for larger events or warrant it.
So your carefully thought-out and future-proofed 25k -38k stadium could be significantly more in the future.
We do want the larger rebuilt Alliance I'd say with better transport over ANZ, and everyone could definitely use a better network of modern stadia. In terms of rugby league, we only need 80% full at worse 25k+ stadia to start with. What really would be good though would be stadia that are 30k seats. 30k seat ones would be most useful.
If you're planning on having a larger-attended match - people would then have a choice of going east to Alliance in the city or west to an altered homebush. However, other stadia around 40k seats could be throughout the city at any time too. I dont know what they plan on building.
. Can you do that?"
