New Melbourne Stadium

[KalgoorlieRed]

LOL at the bloke that said the dome was going to be a rectangular stadium before the AFL got their "teeth into it". If it wasn't for the AFL, there would be no stadium at docklands. AFL games would produce at least 85% of the income into the stadium.

This is a RL forum, not AFL dear. x

The truth and what some AFL troll on a RL forum says are two completely different things.

I said that, because I was told that, so I apologize cos it sounds as if I was wrong. Something tells me now that I think about it, it may have been written up in the local paper as well...anyway.....its still pretty crappy to watch league at that ground.

Here is a photo of a 3d model that has been created for the new Stadium:

Also of interest is this information hidden away in an AFL article:

.....
Fuelling the AFL's frustration is the fact that the soon-to-be-built rectangular stadium in the Olympic Park precinct is expected to be commercially "clean", allowing tenant clubs at that ground full access to profitable signage and pourage agreements.
.....

The Storm being able to negotiate signage and pourage rights whenever they play at the stadium could prove to be a very lucrative source of income.

That's great news for the Storm.

That's so awesome - the stadium and of course the signage rights as well.

The Large Intestine

Exit can be the sphincter, entries nicknamed the iliocecal valve

ascending transverse and descending sections whilst the side the home supporters sit in can be the rectum

Playing field can be the mesentary

works great!

one for the storms grapples, two for being minor premiers 3 years in a row and winning just the single comp

I was under the impression that this was being built for the Victory, and the Storm tagged along. Probably wrong though.

the 3D model has soccer goals.... but maybe we sohuldn't read into it too much ;-)

Other way around. Storm + Melbourne Demons were to be based there long before Victory joined.

Signage rights (usually along with pourage, depending on your contract) always go to the venue hirer. Nothing exciting about that.
