Not when there is AFL being heldMelbourne is fine in september.
If we get an Aus Olympics the AFL season would start and finish early to accommodate itNot when there is AFL being held
I’m a Melbourne born and bred but due to the new regulations Brisbane is our best bet to get the games.If we get an Aus Olympics the AFL season would start and finish early to accommodate it
Late September games in Melbourne would be just as hot as July in London. If Queensland want to waste money on white elephant stadiums when there is a far cheaper option in Melbourne be my guest. But I hope we don’t waste any federal money on this ridiculous ideaI’m a Melbourne born and bred but due to the new regulations Brisbane is our best bet to get the games.
Yes we’ve got the facilities but that July-September also includes the Paralympics so the weather in winter wouldn’t be able to accomodate a summer Olympic Games.
Then when do you expect to hold the paralympics?Late September games in Melbourne would be just as hot as July in London.

Hold it before realistically hardly anyone cares about it. Need a lot more stadiums for the Olympics then Com games. Where is the host stadium going to be? That’s a multi billion dollar project. If it went to Melbourne or Perth they have one ready to goThen when do you expect to hold the paralympics?
Also most of the Venues are already built from the commonwealth games and are used in the community so they aren’t white elephant stadiums...
If you looked at my link I posted, there are only a few temporary venues needing to be built. There was a plan for a potential Olympic Stadium at Albion Park (which would then become an AFL venue post games) however the IOC have suggested that athletics is held at Carrara with the ceremonies at the Gabba.Hold it before realistically hardly anyone cares about it.

Lol you know that warm weather is detrimental to athletic performance in most of these events. The majority of things are indoors now anyway so it does not matter. The federal government should not be wasting money on this.If you looked at my link I posted, there are only a few temporary venues needing to be built.

it doesn’t matter when you hold the Paralympics it won’t change the access the IOC/IPC need to the venues. The venues are the same for both Olympics and Paralympics. They can’t do the games in July however your suggesting they do the Paralympics then... it doesn’t stack up!
There wont be afl being played.Not when there is AFL being held
does an 80k stadium for little athletics carnivals in the outer suburbs make more sense? Ps. The gabba could also be used for cricket, state of origin and concerts. Its in a great location for the city. Especially with the city link underground train station being built. once thats complete its the best spot for a sport stadium in the entire city.Also an 80k stadium for the AFL when they struggle to fill the Gabba makes no sense.
It was going to be 60k anywaydoes an 80k stadium for little athletics carnivals in the outer suburbs make more sense? Ps. The gabba could also be used for cricket, state of origin and concerts.

They want to hold the olympic athletics in a stadium of 17 thousand people? I think the athletes might boycott. They want to be cheered by 80 thousand plus at an olympics. Even commonwealth games have 40 plus thousand stadiums full for athletics.If you looked at my link I posted, there are only a few temporary venues needing to be built.

60k is just embarrasing for the olympics. We have a 100 thousand seat stadium in melbourne.It was going to be 60k anyway
Metricon has 25,000 and will be upgraded to accomodate the games to 40,000 plusThey want to hold the olympic athletics in a stadium of 17 thousand people? I think the athletes might boycott.

40 thousand is ok as long as its not the athletic stadium and used for soccer instead. Athletics and ceremonies needs 80 thousand as a minimum.Metricon has 25,000 and will be upgraded to accomodate the games to 40,000 plus
Olympic venue requirements have changed. The IOC no longer requires big stadiums that end up as white elephants, 60,000 seat main stadiums meet the new requirements now. The Tokyo stadium has 68,000. The Rio athletics stadium had 60,00060k is just embarrasing. Doesnt lang park a
ready hold 60? Gabba by 2032 will need to hold 60 anyway. Its due for a massive rebuild.
They no longer require it!40 thousand is ok as long as its not the athletic stadium and used for soccer instead. Athletics and ceremonies needs 80 thousand as a minimum.
No they don't. Brazil hosted the athletics at 46k soccer stadium, think the home ground of Botafogo, that had temporary seating that got it to just over 60k. The Maracana held the ceremonies and whilst its capacity for soccer is 78k, capacity for the ceremonies was 72k.40 thousand is ok as long as its not the athletic stadium and used for soccer instead. Athletics and ceremonies needs 80 thousand as a minimum.
But if the queensland government builds a new stadium out near the airport arent they too building a new white elephant? Lang park and the gabba have the prime locations. No third stadium will be used long term in brisbane.Olympic venue requirements have changed.

Not if they follow the original London Olympic Stadium model.But if the queensland government builds a new stadium out near the airport aren't they too building a new white elephant? Lang park and the gabba have the prime locations. No third stadium will be used long term in brisbane.
