Optus Stadium Replica..
i found it interesting the Oval length will be same as MCG
that is a very big ground>> alot bigger than the Gabba
63k seats.
i wonder who will get there first...
Victoria Park 63k seats cap
or
Suncorp Stadium Redevelopment 65k Approx.
Thought I read somewhere that Suncorp Stadium is not capable of being upgraded to 65k capacity? Would require total knockdown and rebuild?
And do you really think any further major redevelopment is happening for Suncorp Stadium anytime soon, with the current war, cost of living crisis, inevitable Olympics budget blowouts and a possible global recession/economic downturn?
top tier upgrades in each corner generate 12k seats.
4 corners

if they were to put in a roof,
2 Screens at either end would go to Roof side ( like NFL style)
and seating would also replace where current screens are, increasing capacity further..
but again... All this drama nothing is guaranteed

With all the drama over the world and cost of living... most definitely could delay the project.
they cancelled the ANZ Olympic Park Sydney to refurbished the stadium & Roof Because of COVID
so anything could happen.
(the stadium will be upgraded 100% it is just of matter of when)
it is so popular.

If they do upgrade I think they need to bulldoze it and build it somewhere more suitable - easier to get to. Went past it the other day and is a traffic nightmare even without an event on.

i am not even sure where they could put it. LANG PARK holds so much value
i doubt they will bulldoze it.
just a major refurb and capacity lifted.
but hey anything is up in the air.
