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.
