Because twiz, there are inadequate corporate facilities, not enough ticketing outlets, food and Beverage outlets are outdated and inadequate, toilets are inadequate, function room space is limited, access to facilities from grandstands is poor, wheelchair access is poor and the end terraces are wasted space with advertising hoardings obstructing views to scoreboard and replay screen.
Do I need to go on? Stadium refurbishments are not just about capacity.
That's exactly right. FP.
Twiz, the total anticipated spend on the upgrade over 5 stages is $80 million. This is stage 1 at a cost of 25 million. Be patient.
After seeing the plans, I have my concerns that this upgrade hasn't been thought through properly, with regards to future expansion.
Parramatta Stadium is hemmed in by tight boundaries, so there is very little scope to expand outside the current fence line, which is the original fence line/boundary of the old Cumberland Oval. This was one of the concessions when the stadium was originally designed. It is why the extensions to the north and south terraces are curved at the back.
I find it hard to see how they are going to design another 7-8000 seats into expansion. Height limits are also an issue, so going up could also be problematic.
I hope this isn't an ill thought out design to please the masses for the short term.
