The plan was to house a couple of NRL Teams there and maybe an A-League

No, not unless they want to tunnel under a few suburbs. Most likely they would do a spur line from the nearby busway instead. If that had simply been built as a rail line like it always should have been, we wouldn't have a problem, but this state doesn't do forward planning.
I don't see Brisbane beating Shanghai anyway. The Chinese will spare no expense to create whatever they need to host again.

It plays in our favour that the Olympics were held in China just 11 years ago. The IOC specifically the QLD government to bid on the 2032 Games so I think that shows we're a genuine chance to secure the rights to host it.
I think this would be great for Queensland!
The club and Coast will benefit too with infrastructure boosting.
Because Gold Coast wont be the centerpiece for the games, it would appear that the Suns still have Metricon to use which would be good but by then we should be performing strong too which could all tie in together with having a successful games.

What would an 80000 seat stadium be used for post the games?
seems wasteful

May be more cost effective to just have one side built as permanent and the other 3 sides as temporary structure that is ripped down. Then the track area could be used for anything oval or rectangle shaped. Might seem wasteful but saving dollars long term with upkeep
The USA held the Olympics in 1984 and again in 1996, 12 years apart. 24 years will be more than enough of a gap for the country with the world's biggest population, and by that point, the world's biggest economy too.
But that doesn't mean anything for Shanghai's chances. The USA had the Winter Olympics in 1980 and 2002.
Woo rain. My tanks are overflowing
I did not imply that. Just stating the fact.

Brisbane appear to be up against the following bids:
Jakarta, Indonesia
Mumbai, India
Madrid, Spain
Rhine-Ruhr, Germany
Seoul-Pyongyang, Korea
Bologna-Florence, Italy
London-Birmingham, Great Britain
From this list, I would rule Italy and the London bid out- Italy would have just hosted the Winter Olympics and it would have only been 20 years since the London Olympics.
The Korean bid to me seems unstable incase political tension rises.
Madrid has bidded for the games for a while now and have not been successful so something tells me this will continue.
The Germans usually backlash over the games so that could withdrawal.
I would think our only competition would be Jakarta and Mumbai so a new city would look set to host the games.

If India is a serious bid and not withstanding the entrenched corruption of the IOC they would have to be a monty

The state government are talking about building a 10-15,000 seat stadium/arena on the Gold Coast again but this time the plans include a retractable roof ala Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. What do we think? Personally I'd love to see it happen as I think it's something we're seriously missing on the Gold Coast. Unfortunately, Metricon is too big for a lot of these music acts and they'd prefer to perform in a 10-15k seat arena that's specifically designed for what they do. The article also mentions Owen Park in Southport and Pizzey Park in Miami as the frontrunner sites for this project. Tom Tate wants facility to be capable of hosting an Esports event too.
bloody brilliant. Titans could threaten to move some home games there to get a better stadium deal. Be a great venue too for NRLW games when the Titans enter that.
Plus it would be ideal for when we return to the A-League and maybe the ABA (baseball too).
Plus like you said another Music Event Venue.
How would that occur it the ground is too small?
you could threaten to do it with the lower drawing teams
Wouldn’t it be better to redevelop and expand the convention and exhibition Center? Probably cheaper and prime location
I’m talking playing field like is it an oval, or court?
im assuming it will be rectangular because both Pizzey Park and Owen Park are Rugby League venues
How do you expand the Convention Centre
In their wisdom they built it on a very limited parcel of land probably with a nudge nudge wink wink to the Casino
The only way is up at that location
Wouldn’t be hard to add 10,000 more seats.. go upward and bring the front of the building right out to near the road

MAJOR construction of the $709 million Broadbeach to Burleigh tramline is imminent after the project’s contractor was revealed.
The announcement puts the project on-track for completion by 2023, leaving the coastal spine of the system to run 27km from Helensvale to Burleigh Heads with 27 stations serviced by 23 trams.
Planning is already underway for stage 4 of the tram system, which will run from Burleigh Heads to Coolangatta via Gold Coast Airport.
Community consultation is expected to begin next year ahead of an expected start in 2023-24.

A little late because I never fly out of Cooly after moving to the North side but good for GC residents.
GCB Subs, Does this include running past the stadium or no?
