New stadium - 2025

[WestyLife]

Hope whatever they do is good quality. I'm negotiating with work to finish earlier on weekends so maybe can get to a game or two.

How the f**k are they spending 300 million on one corporate stand and not fixing the other?

Got to look after the corporates and stuff the plebs

 

[Chins get the wins]

Bryan Fletcher confirmed at the fan day today that Western Stand will be demolished with an additional stand going in at the beer hill end. Eastern Stand will get some cosmetic upgrades.

It seems like that stand has the most potential to increase capacity (and I guess is older)

Also that stand would have change rooms, media and corporate facilities so would be more expensive

Could potentially be another 5k seats depending what they go with

Should have torched it to finish off at yesterdays fan day.

 

[Stadium Fan]

Will the stadium end up looking like a mini ANZ stadium when it had the extra winged seating for the 2000 games?

Well the last team to do a threepeat did.

Pretty much where I got the idea, only they did it after the first win.

lets do 4 in a row and then torch it - we arent playing there in 2025 regardless - just have to build a brand newy for us

I am pretty sure that the Western Stand has parts of it that are carry overs from the original stand in the 60's makes sense they would demolish it. You can only upgrade something so much.

For whatever reason Ross blocked me some years ago, and I'm unable to see what Ross has written.

Can you Kilkenny explain what Ross has written.

Lol at that tweet.

A 42,000 seat stadium which cost $300m in 2005?

I have it on good authority this was the winning tender:

Here's the article.

This was going to be the new stadium for
@PenrithPanthers
on the rundown Penrith Paceway site before
@ChrisMinnsMP
torpedoed it.
Not sure if the underground light rail system linking Panthers club, Stadium & Penrith station was included or not

 

[Black Magik]

As clever as that is, all those cables would never work in the NRL unless they are 200m high.

 

[Old and Disgruntled]

We will probably end up with an Athletic track around the current Stadium.
All Minns is doing is giving everyone the runaround.

Until shovels are on site

I won't believe it will happen

I am hearing we may not have to move to parra while the build is on as the works have been downgraded again to just a single tent on the western side .yes let us rejoice the glory of our gift
