Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[phantom eel]

Looks a bit like Cumberland Oval again... maybe they should just leave it like that.

Would fit in with the apparent ghetto theme.

Strider is stocking up on AA batteries to run them first.

Ghetto incoming.

They should sell off demolished sections of the stadium like the Berlin wall. Throw in a crusty pie from the canteen to mount it on.

 

[Twizzle]

the pies would be harder than the bricks

Who would have thought it'd be so hard to get a 100 foot light tower home?

Western Sydney Stadium design shown in new images

HERE’S your chance to have first look at the new $300 million Western Sydney Stadium.

Infrastructure NSW released new concept images of the stadium, part of the State Government’s $1.6 billion stadia strategy to improve sporting infrastructure across the state.

The 30,000 seat arena will go up on the site of Parramatta Stadium and boast the steepest stands of any venue in the country when it opens in 2019.

Work to demolish the existing stadium began earlier this month with construction to begin next year.

The images depict the rectangular stadium with all 30,000 seats under roof cover plus a bustling precinct that will provide pedestrian and transport links, and improved access to Parramatta Park.

The new stadium will play home to the NRL’s Parramatta Eels and A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers.

It certainly looks imposing from the south in that picture on the bridge over Parramatta River.

TBH I think our fans need to get more of a clue how to cross the road - there are merkins going in all directions ...

Why does it take them so long before they start work ?

Demolition may have started but it cannot complete until the end of the swimming season as the pools need to be removed as well.

Someone else more knowledgeable in the building of stadia may be able to comment, but maybe the construction phase doesn't include excavation of the site?

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I think the Pools finish up in April iirc.
