PNG's back.

Be mad not to sign them both if they are willing to go.

 

[Twizzle]

you would think Lam is the obvious choice

Now this is a surprise- one of the leaders of the bid may have been involved in some dodgy business (which had nothing to do with the bid)

Man who won $600m from Albanese government for PNG rugby league embroiled in corruption scandal

The Australian government’s support was supposed to head off Chinese influence, but the suspect deal would have invited just that.

'Friendly competition' emerges to determine PNG's NRL home ground - ABC Pacific

PNG will kick off its NRL era in just three years, but between now and then, Port Moresby will transform itself as much off the field as on.

No brainer has to be the one close to the cbd and on the water

Hopefully down the track the ground gets serious upgrades

2.5 years they best make a decision soon! That stadium needs a lot of work. Did they really say they wanted it to be 50k? If so then thats a brand new stadium build.
Santos stadium is just scaffolding. At least the water front one has concrete stands to develop. Filling in the corners might add an additional 10k to the current 25k. Though adding proper seating to the stands will probably reduce their capacities. Neither stadium currently has much by way of corporate options by looks of it.

Whilst near the sea front its in a weird spot as its literally a roundabout surrounded by big roads!

Can’t see how they upgrade that

Knock down those concrete stands and building again is surely the way to go ?

I would prefer they play out of that then do a full rebuild later at larger capacity than waste money on that and it’s still 25k

If the money was available then 50k plus would be awesome

Looks like a good spot for a ground being near major roads

If you zoom in one stand behind the sticks is corporates

Ive never seen a stadium designed as a major roundabout! How do pedestrians get to it?

Theres no seating at moment, looks like concrete terracing. I wonder what capacity would be with seats in it?

Theres no boxes or corporate seating in that end stand, its just the angle of the stand making it look like a building.

Looks like there’s a fence around it with an entry on one side

Close to the water is nice

And the downtown cbd

Esp if the players resort is on the bit of land on the water to the left of that stadium

Sounds like things got a bit heated in the Digicel cup!

I have circled in blue the two entry points into the Stadium that are currently being used.
Theres another 2 at the exact same spots on the opposite sides but they have never been opened.

I have put a red arrow across the roundabout showing the direction to the Habourside prescient where I believe the players are going to reside.

Currently the only Corporates are on Level 2 of the main grandstand. And I think to increase capacity the outer stand the opposite side needs to be built up to be same as the grandstand and the corners need to be filled up.

Need a 40k stadium with proper corporate areas like commbank

Corporates will be where they make the money on game day to allow for cheaper tickets to make it affordable
