What about a roof at ANZ?
NRL Head of Strategy, Shane Richardson: Yes, I would build one and even more important is making it a rectangular shape and getting fans closer to the action.

It wouldn't be an issue in the short-term as the size of Spotless stadium next door suits the Giants in their embryonic phase, while Swans' fans hated their home games at ANZ.
However, longer-term restricting the largest oval in Western Sydney to Spotless' 25,000 capacity if ANZ was made rectangular, would hinder a winning GWS team especially in terms of hosting derbies and eventually building it up as an 'event' and rivalry that would attract a much larger crowd.
