Not anymore. It is all flexible for the host city (this way it can attract more host cities)That release indicates the gabba is the confirmed site for a redevelooed main stadium. The question I had is, doesnt the olympic main stadium have to have a min capacity of 60000? Wouldnt brisbane be better keeping a stadium of that size into the future instead of downsizing it into 50000?
They will also be hosting Olympic games at our new Springfield fascility too. Word is, the Queensland government will want us to play our home games across regional Queensland too, which i'm sure will be backed by financial incentivies as well as the prospect of returning to a redeveloped Gabba that we didn't pay for at all.Looks like lions may get some money out of it
Are you are talking about the facility at Springfield "The Reserve" mentioned in videoLooks like lions may get some money out of it
I was talking about Springfield. Knowing that the initial development is underway, I assuming that additional work may be required in order use the facility for the modern pentathlon.Are you are talking about the facility at Springfield "The Reserve" mentioned in video
That project is already funded and underway.
Admittingly 12 months behind schedule
The Lions will most likely lose money during the Gabba construction phase starting around 2024
Demolishing The Gabba and rebuilding will take 2.5 to 3years.
So loss of revenue and playing away from home will be difficult
In the long run the Lions will be better placed once the games are over

And cricket in Brisbane, doubt they'd play test matches at AB Field.I was talking about Springfield. Knowing that the initial development is underway, I assuming that additional work may be required in order use the facility for the modern pentathlon.
It's good to see alot of training venues are being used for the games. It will be interesting where the Lions, and less so the Broncos and suns will play while work is done (assuming both metricon and suncrop are getting a facelift).
I would think Metricon & Suncorp venues will just be maintenance type improvementsI was talking about Springfield. Knowing that the initial development is underway, I assuming that additional work may be required in order use the facility for the modern pentathlon.

Could play them at metricon. Metricon and suncorp would be in line for some cosmetic surgery by the time 2030 rolls around, but not even close to the extent that is being done at the gabba.And cricket in Brisbane, doubt they'd play test matches at AB Field.
Both codes will be affectedAnd cricket in Brisbane, doubt they'd play test matches at AB Field.
Can't play cricket at SuncorpCould play them at metricon. Metricon and suncorp would be in line for some cosmetic surgery by the time 2030 rolls around, but not even close to the extent that is being done at the gabba.
I was more thinking suncrop, along with metricon would need some work done, with the cricket to be hosted at metricon. I had a look through the video again and you're right, metricon isn't mentioned (just shown). The gold coast sports and leisure centre I belive is apart of the suns training complex.Can't play cricket at Suncorp
Depending what/if any Olympic sports plans are for Metricon that is the only place to play AFL & cricket
Interestingly the video mentions the "Carrara Cluster" shows Metricon but only mentions:-
Gold Coast Sports & Leisure Centre and Royal Pines Golf Course
Could have just missed mentioning Carrara ??
Carrara was originally mentioned for Athletics (crazy idea) but that is now defiantly The Gabba
Anyhow if it is not being used for the games Metricon would obviously help out the Lions & Suns AFL and also cricket
Hopefully that is what happens
The sports and leisure centre is huge and community facility. the suns might train in there for certain things but it really isn’t a part of their complex.I was more thinking suncrop, along with metricon would need some work done, with the cricket to be hosted at metricon.

Given it's supposed to hold 10 000 for AFLW games, I'd say AFL games could definitely be held there, with some temporary seating.and i cant see how any AFL game could be at Springfield. There’s not a whole bunch of room around there. 1 side is the railway and orion. not sure there is a whole lot more room on the other 2 sides.
Its not the facility as much as getting there and staying there. There is almost nowhere to park And looking at the final design, that’s not changing anytime soon. a train every 30 mins on the weekends isn’t a solution. Orion is pretty busy as it is and they’ll not want people parking there.Given it's supposed to hold 10 000 for AFLW games, I'd say AFL games could definitely be held there, with some temporary seating.
It sounds like the train lines will be upgraded, and it wouldn't run to the weekend timetable on event days.Its not the facility as much as getting there and staying there.

I just cant see how you can get a decent number of people in and out.

Not only can they increase the number of trains going there, the station itself has a a car park, which can be upgraded if necessary I'm sure.Its not the facility as much as getting there and staying there.

the carpark has just been extended. That’s it. There is no more room. They cant go up. There’s a train line in the way. You can see by the render there’s no room anywhere else unless they knock down the school.Not only can they increase the number of trains going there, the station itself has a a car park, which can be upgraded if necessary I'm sure.

My guess is that Metricon is being used on standby. Cricket or even Baseball could be played there. We’ve got AB Field but given crickets popularity in Australia, they’d need a bigger venue so Metricon suits.I was more thinking suncrop, along with metricon would need some work done, with the cricket to be hosted at metricon.

Id be pushing for something likeI'm assuming Brisbane will play home games at Springfield, while the Gabba is re-done
I wouldn't. I'd much rather play at Springfield, or failing that, somewhere in our academy territory, like the Sunshine Coast or Toowoomba, if the government are willing to cough up some funds to upgrade facilities in those places.Id be pushing for something like
6x Metricon
3x Cazalys
1x Riveway
1x Mackay
They are building a multi level carpark across the road for the station which will hold 1000 cars i think construction has already started you can see cranes on the left top of the reserve camera feed in the spot where it is supposed to be built.Its not the facility as much as getting there and staying there.
