New stadium - 2025

[snickers007]

Stuart Ayres, earlier in the year said the Stadium will be based on TQL Stadium at Cincinnati, 25.5K (soccer purpose) corporate boxes run along the top of one side, seating on the other. Check out the photos.

Great looking stadium, which has won many awards.
Would be very happy to have something like that.

Would be nice but cost will see a very basic Stadium.

I think just get 2 new stands and Hill stays as is

With the infrastructure, region growth and sociodynamic changes in the greater west, any new stadium which can host multiple sport/entertainment events will be a huge drawcard.

Lets not forget that ease of access will make the stadium very attractive.

Having lived in Penrith for most of my life, I firmly believe this will be a very dense area come 2030-2040. Any investment now, will have a huge impact long term.

It should be a no brainer BUT it is the government we are talking about here

Can the stands at least go higher?

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Maybe we could ask the Tasmanians for their stadium money. It doesn't look like they want one.

 

[Iamback]

If they do, It will be extra corporates nor extra seats

Ok sad to hear that. So if they do get only 2 stands would that make it only 25k max stadium?

Who will be the operator for the stadium?

 

[BossleyPanther]

Who will be the operator for the stadium?

Probably the council still

Who will be the operator for the stadium?

The same body as runs BankWest and Allianz.

So will cost more for tickets and to hire. Another reason it needs to be done properly or not at all

Wouldn't surprise if there got their fingers in it They r now developers also buying the old boral site and building factory units Talk about conflict of interests

If there is a new stadium, it will be an entirely new purpose built stadium with nothing remaining from the current ground. It will be all seater, no hill, no grass. I Think anywhere between 25,000 - 28,000 in capacity Slightly less than Commbank.

That won’t happen.

Penrith Council have been in negotiations with the Westfield Group to sell off there current chambers and build the new chambers on the land (flood plain) behind the old ambulance station and extending to the retirement village and east side quarter.

The push for a new stadium may have been initiated by the former liberal state member but the new government recognise its significance to the region and I think you’ll find they are supportive. It’s just been delayed and will not be open for business until 2025 at the earliest and sadly built on the current site rather than the more expensive but best option which would have been the Paceway site. I think the overall losers may be the Paceway because there site is never going to be sold to developers so they lose out all round.

On Ch 9 they are talking about upgrade of Leichhardt Oval subject to getting some government funds perhaps half going to the upgrade of Penrith's ground. Nice one not. They say it's in Albos seat as well.

They need to bulldoze Leichardt and be done with it. Tigers need to just commit to Campbeltown.

Accor is a soulless dump. Whichever moron approved the CoE to be built in Concord should be fired from a cannon into the sun. Pick an area ffs and stick with it.

Out of curiosity, what $ value would be on the Paceway.
