Maths re the new stadium.

Perth Quay?

Just not stupid monarch s**t. She's been here for all of 1 week in her life. Surely there's a nice sounding WA persons name that could be used. Surely an Indigenous name would be more appropriate.

Lazy tradies will take forever to build this ground

So sick of all this indigenous bullshit. Why don't we change the name to everything indigenous. Treat everyone the same and everyone equally. How bout someone from WA who has done something historical or someone famous nautically. Digging a hole in the ground and building a Quay has nothing to do specifically with indigenous people other than making it hard for tourists to pronounce.

Name it after Cuzzy. Ben's Bay.

I'm sick of all this monarchist s**t. Elizabeth Quey and Kings Gate. Fully agree that it should be named after important people or something of significance in WA's history and that clearly rules out the Monarch.

Given the indigenous connection to the Swan River and the very strong indigenous involvement in the project it's a logical and valid suggestion.

Anyway, this is getting a little off track.

The Super Pit would be quirky and memorable. Mining companies would flock to sponsor it too.

BHP's Super Pit
The Rio Tinto Super Pit

Kind of reminds me of the 'Snake Pit' the Illawarra Hawks used to have

There is a whole side of meeting and ball rooms that have great river views on the Eastern side. However, the actual convention centre doesn't as they don't want windows in convention centres. They want you to focus on the stalls and whatever else you're there to visit. Worldwide they're all designed like this. The windows would only look over freeway on and off ramps anyway on the Southern long side.

It is funny that you compare it to the Sydney Opera house, delivered 10 years late and 10 times over budget. How would it go down if our convention centre cost us $3bn and was only just being finished???

The brief was to build a couple of large exhibition rooms, a theatre and a dining/ballroom space plus parking. The right rooms have views (meeting and ball). The right rooms don't have views (concention and theatre). Sure it just looks like a giant tin shed, but if they spent double to make it an architectural masterpiece would that help it serve its purpose any better?

Is anybody in Sydney unhappy about the Opera House? No, didn't think so. If they'd actually made the PCEC resemble a shearing shed rather than the nebulous "undulating eucalyptus leaf theme" which the roof supposedly is, they might have created something worthwhile. It is as you describe it, a "giant tin shed", but a very ugly one.

Your comment "Worldwide they're all designed like this" only reconfirms my original point that it is just a mish-mash of what everybody else does.

 

[Impunity!]

Have they announced the name for the stadium?

Brad Scott Stadium, "Sooky Stadium" for short.

Stupid thing about the opera house is the cost and elaborate exterior design meant that they compromised inside initially and it was utter rubbish accoustically.

That would be a bad omen, wouldn't want the ground to get flooded.
