This sort of feels to me like many things on Social Media now days - all you hear from is the disgruntled minority that makes enough noise to sound like a majority. When the vote/verdict actually come in though you quickly discover all that noise was for nought and the minority was in fact, well, the minority after all. :drunk:
 
They absolutely have changed (cheapened) the exterior.

And it will blow out. I’m not even sure they’ve got the workers to physically get it all done.
A preliminary artist impression isn't going to be entirely accurate, particularly for things not yet figured out (like how much air the facade needs to let in for growing grass). Nevertheless those early renderings did show some consideration for such factors, and the small difference to the end product has nothing to do with cost.

If they had done away with the 360-degree internal concourse, then the comparison to Carrara would have some grounding in reality. Instead, the comparison is about as serious as the imaginary $3 billion pricetag.

Yeah they've spent the whole year debating it including gaining political support from the unions but they're still unsure "if they have the workers"

You know Tassie does build stuff yeah?

Those against the stadium are very much the majority, but not the majority of those who gove political donations.
Its an utter disaster for a state that already can't afford its own existence. It might be good for football, its terrible for the state.

Not by 2029, when the contract penalties start kicking in, while everyone who knows anything about building stadiums will be in Queensland. Even without that, a lot of the workforce would need to be from interstate.
Just cleaning up the location (which, quite rightly, isn't part of the budget - that needs to be done even if something sensible was done with the site) could take a couple of years before any hole digging can start.

Good chance we see some decent delays I reckon. They're talking start of 2030 which seems ambitious when you factor in everything.

I reckon 2031 or 2032 season more realistic.
