$70m AAMI Redev. over next 5 years

Not only is AAMI stadium bloody far away, but there's **** all to do in that area once the game is over.
When I see a match in melbourne, I can go see a live gig right after or head to a bar or have lunch at a nice restaurant or in a food court before hand - all within walking distance. I can make a day of it. If I was coming to adelaide from interstate I'd wonder why the hell the stadium is such an inconvinience.
Spend money on a stadium that doesn't suck and is in the city, not out in the middle of nowhere.
I know it goes against Adelaide's original plan, but a world class stadium in somewhere like Victoria Square would be awesome. The vagrants could sleep on the bucket seats rather than on park benches.

The problem is $$$

I think everyone's favoured position would be a new stadium in the sporting precinct at Keswick with Trains and Buses and Parking.

Problem is that's gonna cost approx 500m......that's half a Billion....

That kind of cash is hard to raise in Adelaide given the size of the market from which any investors would be looking to recoup from.

$$$ are the main problem.

The sale of the 23 hectares (for a housing development) the SANFL owns could go a long way to funding a new stadium but other issues still surface.

Would the AFC have to relocate? What would happen to the Crows Tavern? Would the SANFL administration have to relocate? What would be the backlash to the wasted money invested in building the Northern Stand and Bus Terminal?

Do you mind if I ask you if you are employed and have to pay any tax? (Being a unemployed bum from Elizabeth doesn’t bother me because what are taxes, hay Postman Pat )

If a new super sports stadium was to be built in South Australia the state government would need to fund it with tax payers money meaning the South Australian people would have to find an extra $450,000,000 in public revenue to pay for it

The Public health system need a lot of money pumped into it (ask any nurse) and the public schooling system (ask any school teacher) is a bloody joke in this state, personally I would rather see $450,000,000 spend in the areas than a sporting stadium.

AAMI stadium land would only sell for $180 - $200 million and that would take 5 to 10 years to come though.

It’s easy to say let build a brand new stadium but what about thing like Hospitals, schools, roads and transport.

it would need to be a partnership...with some contributing more than others

Private Business > SANFL > State Govt > Federal Govt > AFL

Will you please stop polluting every thread with this crap or the anti-drinking stuff. Nobody cares and you're simply drawing attention to yourself and flamewars to threads which otherwise include interesting discussion.

I am employed and do pay tax, although very little being a full time student, however I do understand your point. How much does Telstra spend to make it Telstra dome? Not to mention all the other companies investing advertising dollars into the stadium. Concerts and other events could also be held there which would in turn help the tourist industry of the city. Yes it would cost a lot of money to start with and may take some time to pay off, but with private investment and a city of 1 million people, most of whom take great interest in football, I see no reason why we could not fund a new stadium. 70 million is a lot of money too. If we can find that much, why can't we find 450 million?
