Talking Footy

World rugby says
yea nah

to Vicdumbia

not one RWC match there in 2027
wow
talk about being told you're not up to scratch

https://7news.com.au/sport/rugby-union/ ... he%20final.

the other interesting thing is Suncorp being told its not .... big... enough to host a semi final , with Sydney getting both semi's
That will infuriate the QLD govt , & get them thinking again about that olympic upgrade .... PVL has already said .... you get suncorp to 70K ... its in play for the NRL GF

70k Suncorp would look epic. (but ive never been a fan of big stadiums)

You want to be close to the action and field
FACT bigger the stadium the worse the seats for majority of people

MCG 100k to SCG 48k

SCG any day for views and closeness to the field for AFL or Cricket.

Ideal Rectangle stadium is 40k to 60k

Suncorp wouldn't be too big at 70K..
theres plenty of 70Kish to 80K plus seat stadiums around the world that are awesome .... even the worst seats are amazing
Wembley
Old Trafford
numerous NFL stadiums
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Allianz in Germany
Its because they are proper rectangles with a steep rake up over the field
Accor is a hole , its ends are oval , its rake on the side lines too flat , they ruined it when the fumbling mess from Vicdumbia told a pack of lies & porkies to the Stadium operators & the NSW govt they'd play there regularly if it was kept oval.
The lying bastards have played 1 game since 2016
