I'll try and attach the plans to this post, see if it works. It's the same as the pic posted at the top of the last page.

More elevations. Two 150 sq mts scoreboards, one at each end.

Thanks Chris.

Site Plan. Only two gates and both on the west side is a bit annoying.

@chrisD did you attend the community information sessions? If so, is their any new concept art or plans that weren't on the video?

I didn't go to that no. There are no new (accurate) perspectives, just the same ones that came with the announcement (touched up with some panther's colours here or there).

Some pretty pics out of the architectural design report.

The aspect that caught my attention was the redevelopment of the vacant land on the old National / Panasonic site.

The most valuable real estate in Penrith has basically been vacant for 40 years now and it appears part of our stadium redevelopment includes 8 to 11 story apartment towers on the vacant land.

I‘m not sure whether anyone has actually known who is the owner of this parcel of land, Local Government, State Governmen, Panthers, Roger Cowan it has always been a mystery to me why it has gone undeveloped. Well it is part of the proposal as it stands which is interesting. I didn’t see it coming.

So Panasonic have not been there for 40 years?

No one has been there for 40 years.

No one has been there for 40 years.

That's amazing to know.

Just looked at the drawings for the new stadium. Overall very impressive.
Two things,
One the Southern Hill Food and Beverage will remain, will this get an upgrade?
Two there are no boxes in the Eastern Stand, that seems like an opportunity missed, easier to put in now than trying to retro fit them in the future.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

This question was asked during one of the community sessions.

Essentially it is best practice in most modern stadiums to keep all those sorts of facilities to one side.

Having them on both sides means you've then got to double up on all the services which adds additional cost and complexity to the project.

From memory though even with all the corporate boxes on one side the western stand ends up having a few thousand extra seats over what is currently in place.

Yes, I can understand that, but it still seems like a wasted opportunity to future proof the stadium.

I think even if they only put in the floor for them in, that would be a start.

Does the new politis stadium only have boxes on one side?

 

[Kilkenny]

I’m still trying to digest the mass of information, but on initial view it really does look pretty special.

Sure it is a modest increase on overall capacity, but the overall improvements in viewing, seating, corporates, accessibility, food and beverage it is a huge win on first glance.

Don't worry, it won't actually be yellow.
