Post by leeroy*NRL* »

AFL season 2017: League takes out out loan of $280 million to buy Etihad Stadium

While the AFL purchased Etihad Stadium last year in a bid to "strengthen the financial health" of Victorian clubs, it has emerged the league took out a $280 million loan to fund the deal.

The AFL revealed on Friday it had suffered a $17.8 million loss last season, although the details were not disclosed

Yeah the only reason I can think is the tv revenue money is paid monthly. So maybe AFL don't have the cash in the bank.

I think youll find the AFL like the NRL has other commitments that had to be funded, not unusual.

Yes totally agree. Most of the tv money would already be commited to AFL handouts.

It's purely business guys. You are buying a income generating asset so why would you use your own cash to do so. Always use other people's money, let that asset pay off the loan, and right (tezza) off any loses.

Does that mean AAMI stadium can mow be lifted in capacity due to restrictions that it was before hand..
45k would be a great size ground

If so no rectangle code would ever play there again

As if the rectangular codes need an increase in capacity when they very rarely ever test capacity of AAMI Park as is. AFLCrap1 surely you'd be against Victorian taxpayer $$$ being wasted like that yeah, esp. considering your stance re: AFL in Queensland?
