The AFL wins again with a massive new stadium and no need to contribute a cent. lol
yeaFred wrote: Wed Mar 26, 2025 9:39 amDo you think they’ll have a dedicated opening event at the new AFL stadium like they did for Optus Oval in Perth / or will that simply be the opening ceremony? I’d say the later but they may try to milk it. Either way - massive boost for AFL.
oh what utter crapFred wrote: Wed Mar 26, 2025 3:36 pmI think you’ll see a lot of large concerts and events going to the new stadium Leroy - logistically it is much easier on the promoters to go there - which was a selling point made in support.
Sportswise you have two sports there - year round, and with big bash, test, one day and T20 for cricket. Its will also likely have conference rooms (state of the art) that would be a preference I would imagine. So there’s a fair bit going on - throw in the Olympics and para Olympics - it’s a win. Win for sport and the state.
Suncorp have really missed out - there may be a few dollars here and there - but only if anything to do with Olympic events should they go there - and will be minor. I think all the money has been allocate - and of course there will be the cost blow outs I sure they have accounted for.
Imagine if they play a rectangle game at the new stadium lol. Whilst it may not be good for viewing it may be more cost effective - particularly if a bigger crowd can go - origin anyone ???? I mean they use ovals now don’t they in Melbourne and Perth ? I would piss myself laughing imagining asif melting down if that happened - but it could - an extra how many thousand ???
Oh stop ya sooking and whining. You look pathetic. This thread has been a classic with your predictions of what would happen.azif wrote: Wed Mar 26, 2025 4:08 pmhow does anyone justify 10 billion dollars for a half empty venue
that has a game between the paddle pop wions & whorethorn
with TV ratings in Brisbane akin to pepper pig , i mean ... no one cares
& won't upgrade a venue that would host Origin to 65K every time its played there with a million more Qlders watching on TV
yea

‘Old and tired’: Greenberg warns SCG needs upgrade as Brisbane promised first Test after Olympics

Cricket Australia has promised Queensland hosting rights for the first Test of the 2032-33 summer at a newly built Brisbane Stadium, immediately after a home Olympics and Paralympics, as chief executive Todd Greenberg declared the SCG “desperately” needed future upgrades or risked being left behind.
Greenberg, a former board member of Venues NSW, which oversees the state’s major sporting facilities, including the SCG, says Sydney’s premier cricket venue needs upgrades.
“Incredibly, what we’ll possibly see now is the SCG will desperately need some attention because it will fall far behind some of these other iconic stadiums across the country,” Greenberg told SEN.
“Some of those stands there are extremely old and tired [at the SCG]. The people who are running Venues NSW and the SCG know that. We’ve helped them strongly advocate for more funding.
“No one loves the SCG more than me. I’m born and bred in Sydney, so I spent a lot of time there, but this is what happens in modern sport; investment goes into stadiums and it creates a new benchmark. The new stadium in Brisbane will do that.
“We’ve got to continue to lift the bar all over the country.”
