New Melbourne Stadium

[S.R.]

5m for an in goal???

I thought the regs were 7-12m????

Let me explain again.

A soccer pitch is 110m long. Add 5m at each end and you get 120m.

Rugby League field is 100m plus in-goals. Say they are 10m each. That gives you 120m.

LOL!...They must be using them as point of reference. Or maybe they have set in the permanent support holes.

Probably used to align the baseplates by turning the nuts so the goal posts will be level in its final position

Outside panels starting to go on and looks like the lights towers are being installed.

Been on the storm website and they have a section on the stadium. You can see by the facilities they are advertising (like the Geyer and Kearns suites) that they are going to be able to make a heap load more $'s from playing there. I'm off in the Kearns suite for the Broncos game if i can get tickets!

This is definitely one of the things I am most looking forward to for the upcoming season. If my scientific study is correct (Titled: Olympic park is a sh*thole) Melb should see a good increase in crowd averages.

Broncos were averaging fairly terrible crowds at the end of the ANZ stadium era. They have been back on the increase since.

This new stadium will help the storm big time imo. crowds and memberships will double, yawnion and the new gay-league team dont stand a chance :thumn

Pretty sure this "gay-league" team you speak of will also be using the stadium ...

Not sure how you work that out, it was paid for by the Victorian government not the federal government.

Oh and NSW GST $$$ don't make a nice looking stadium.......have a look at Homebush :sarcasm:

Thunder Dome is actually quite good. It's not really a dome, but it's still a good nickname.
