Pretty sure it was 20 years after Docklands completion.

Tank, western grandstand is the one that backs onto the street, on the left of the pic (opposite the hill)

That had nothign to do with it. According to the special liftout that was in the paper last week.. They changed there plans on building the 40k stadium as they decided Docklands catered for 50k so the only thing Melbourne didnt have and needed was a 30k stadium purpose built for
rectangle games, soccer, rugby etc etc.

Griff that link for Landsdowne Road is an artist impression of what the new stadium (Aviva) will look like once completed.

Ive been to Wembley its bloody huge, so big though that is pretty crap being up in the cheap seats.

Id rate the Emirates (Arsenal's new 60K home ground) as being the best rectangular field Ive been to.

AAMI park is bloody good though, excellent viewing and good size.

The bubble is a great stadium. I have not been, but its fairly obvious. It may not be an elite stadium by UEFA standards, missing out on some minor things it looks like, but for viewing and atmosphere, its up there with the best.

If you are arguing that its not a good stadium, you are blatantly wrong by every measurement.

If you are arguing its world class, then by viewing and atmosphere its up there with the best. It may not have a capacity on par with the larger stadia out there but when put beside other 30k stadia it rates highly.

I mean what more could you want? Its a good stadium. End of story. Its not crap by any stretch of the imagination.

But could you imagine Uefa putting a final in that ground? Obviously assuming the ground magically moved to a Euro city of your choice?

Minor or not, non elite means non elite. How many stars did Fifa give it (genuine qustion as i don't know)?

It would not make a list of the top 20 stadiums in Europe.

I'm sure its "good". For 250 million it really should be.

Good however is not the "best rugby league stadium in the world". i have to say though i doubt even Simostorm can really believe that and is actually just trying to wind up the Sydney folk a bit.

for a fraction of the price the KC stadium in Hull is just as good and has a roof that actually keeps the rain off!

The thread has become an arguement about whether the stadium is good or not, when the title simply suggests sydney needs something like it.

Wow. LU never fails to miss the point...
