STADIUMS & INFRASTRUCTURE NRL

true, a roof will put an end to any further " rectangularisation " of the venue
which is a shame.
Its a waste ....
If it goes ahead all we can hope for is a roof improves the atmosphere by capturing the noise & trapping it rather then it disspursing away

i find the atmosphere can be good with around 35k plus
it is the distance from the field in all angles which is the biggest of jokes.

lets hope it doesn't go ahead then , they're only talking about 100 million odd to do it , I have engineer friends who are telling me it would be impossible to do it for that little , around 300 million for something good.
& that may indeed make it too expensive.
fingers crossed

agreed...

I wonder if we will see cricket and AFL return to a roofed Homebush stadium?

i doubt if Cricket would, they have the beautiful SCG.

could be used for the occasional AFL Game.

and there is the occasional game..
lucky they are keeping it an oval

Needs an increase and an upgrade for sure. Gets the crowds and should maximise on that - but will be the poor cousin to the AFL ground I would reckon until they get a new one.

poor cousin, i doubt it,
cannot beat a rectangle stadium, most sports play on them and most concerts also.
Suncorp will be used way more like it already is.

Olympic Stadium will be used for majority AFL and Cricket with the occasional suitable events.

Lang Park will always remain the Number 1 stadium, even with a 3 billion oval around the corner.

I think part of the sales pitch for the vic stadium was the logistics of getting in and out for concert promoters - this attteacting more concerts to Brisbane.

I’m still thinking that if the upgrade to Suncorp isn’t ready by 2032 we may see a SOO there - money talks and the extra seats and money speaks volumes

i highly doubt it..

Concerts and events majority prefer Rectangle configuration it suits the event so much more..

and at this present moment VIC PARK will not be much bigger than Suncorp.. there both looking to be around 60k

VIC PARK will certainly get the events, just SUNCORP will remain the Number 1
