You're aware that photo is before the field is fully rolled in and locked into place right?
Even after the field is locked in place there is still only a meter of grass before the cement.

Looking at the Barcelina V Milan game ( they had the same dimensions ) they but a fence along the side line before the cement starts. I'm not sure how they did corner kicks or throw ins as there is no room for a run up.

Surely they'll have to bring in sideline conversions a few meters ?

FYI Barcelon V Milan got a crowd of 38k, now that we've over taken that number are now the World Game ;)

They plan to put pillows and cushions in team colours over the concrete. Should look great on the telly.

The NRL field looks like it has more space behind the ingoals than the Barcelona v Milan game (photo from that)

There was still 7ft from the sideline to the fence for that match (though doesn't look like it), but back to the NRL match, the area they lock the field into does have grass on it (although I wouldn't personally want to be landing on it) so they shouldn't be hitting concrete immediately (or falling down a ditch)

@yakstorm you're one of the few level headed posters here ( I'm definitely not level headed lol ) what's your opinion on the Vegas games and the NRLs push into the US market ?

I just love the way the field enters the stadium. State of the art engineering. No wonder it cost two billion buckeroos to build, worth every dollar.
And we're still waiting for homebush to have a roof, I know bunnings have those huge tarps, that will work fine for 100 bucks for 30 metres lol.

And somehow the QLD government were trying to push through a $7 billion rebuild of the Gabba

Good to see local tv was there to cover it

says 15k Aussies and 3k Poms have travelled
Over

By adding a super league game next year that figure would be easily 10k

As if the entire panel of every fox footy show plus slothfield aren't utilising that Escorts Direct to you service.

Would love a PI firm engaged by the RLPA to be following Kent, hooper and slothy around Vegas to take plenty of shut up and f**k off snaps.

The Sapporo Dome has had a retracting field for over twenty years.

Not exactly modern engineering.

Tottenham and the Bernabeu have some crazy pitches.
