Fremantle Dockers face more finals scheduling controversy as Wallabies take over Patersons Stadium
Don't like the sound of that.

Does the new stadium have any solar panels incorporated in the design? Like metricon does on the roof?
Don't worry the AFL will roll over this year, embarrassed by the decision to play at Geelong last year.
Naming rights for the new stadium project are in play, though not the stadium itself.
From The West:
Two of the world's biggest resources companies are lining up to sign multimillion-dollar deals to have their names attached to the new Perth stadium project at Burswood ..... miner BHP Billiton and oil and gas company Chevron are in the advanced stages of negotiations with the State Government's stadium builder, the Brookfield Multiplex-led consortium Westadium.

It's for some of the things in the precinct
Yeah, I don't think they'll ever rename the new Matthew Pavlich Stadium after some corporate sponsor.
That clarified it, thanks !!
The most interesting thing in that is they're going to keep the golf club house and turn it into something. At least it'll provide another pre/post game option apart from Crown. Initially anyway.

Means if you host a QF it'll be the Friday night... second 6 day break in a row. You'd almost be better off playing an away QF for the longer break IMO.
Nah, unless it's against Hawthorn the other team will be on a 6 day break as well. And even if it is, i'd much rather play Hawthorn here than over there (given if we've finished top 2 then we'll have almost certainly beaten them here a few weeks prior).

Perhaps the BHP spin off company seeing as it'll be based in WA.

Everything in Perth is built for now. They don't ever consider the future.
Except this stadium is planned for future expansion to possibly 80,000. A n increase of one third over the initial 60,000.

I'm going to be interested in the seating allocation between the home side, the visiting side and any remaining general admission seats.
According to this article the current plans to only offer 5000 seats as general admission and Tourism WA want's to increase this to 10000 seats.

Does this 5000 general admission seats under the current plan include the allocation to the visiting team or is that separate to this?

So there is a tourism wa govt dept and a private agency? Geeee, there's a cost saving for ya..... Put the saved $ into the stadium to ensure HD high sped cameras in the posts.....
Not capable of comprehending the written word?
The Aus reporting the project came in $40m under original estimate.

Having returned from an intensive study of Melbourne's AFL stadia all I can say is WTF was the WA government thinking.
You had so many models to choose from and you want to re-invent the wheel.
Docklands has 60k capacity. It could've been tailored to our own specifications with no need for the roof. no need for the concrete field and no need for the concourse to be a concrete bridge. Major cost savings.It surrounded by social and transport infrastructure. Perfect.
The MCG is totally magnificent and could be used as a raw design model.

Wouldn't reinterpreting existing stadiums be reinventing the wheel?!
Which Docklands Stadium has a 60 k capacity? Given the one in Melbourne was engineered in the late 80s, do you really believe design has stood still for the last 25 years?

I don't see any real advances being mooted for the Perth Stadium. Do you?

Seen our utterly useless freeway reserves?
Underground airport link (won't happen) not needed until 2040 is a perfect example of an un-perth project. But it's not needed because there are alternative projects needed now.

So when they aren't building something properly, they're building something irrelevant to our needs?
