New Melbourne Stadium

[Jankuloski]

I wouldn't get too excited. Some info on some forum doesn't make it so... FFS we had Mason signing for Storm in an actual newspaper and that ended up as nothing.

If any of this stuff was true, surely it would have been reported in one of the Melbourne papers or by Fox/TV stations by now.

Just a little off topic re Victory fans, trying to find a female in the crowd, is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The games that I have seen on tv it seems their supporter base is generally youngish guys.

Didn't they punt Norths for a similar thing?

Feel sorry for you lot if it's true, but you would rather an opening in 2011 than another Anfield in 2011.

I hope this is just unsubstantiated gossip!

Well in the 48 hours or so since the rumour started on the Victory forum, there's been absolute silence in the media and several new roof tiles have been installed in the corner nearest the webcam. You'd think if there was any truth in this there'd have been an absolute freeze on further additions to the roof and the media would have got hold of it.

looks a very good stadium to watch footy, very english/skilled park like.

starting to look really good, the crowd noise will be deafening with that style of roof I would imagine.

 

[MsStorm]

Noticed that the turf's been laid which makes the stadium look likes its nearing completion.

Somehow I get the feeling Storm are going to play a lot of night games (as we usually do) and the stadium will really look spectacular at night.

Its definitely going to be a huge drawcard for rugby league, not only in Australia but around the world.

Yep, they just thought they'd put the grass in now in readiness for kick off in round 1 next year :lol:
