It's relatively minor. Knocking down walls etc to open the space up.

Putting a skylight in the Gym - to let in some sunlight?

Considering its under a grandstand that would be a hell of a skylight!

Under the grandstand and under the ground.

Essendon's facility at the airport outstanding.

Be awesome to see the lions do the same with some high tech facility.

Especially the pharmacy.

Just saw a vid on fb of the lions training at the qsac stadium. Is this anything to read into? Obviously the gabba is unavailable due to cricket but I thought they'd be using cooparoo.

Just using the running track for the time trial.

ESSENDON will make a decision on Tuesday morning on whether it will hand delisted free agents Xavier Richards and Josh Green a lifeline.

Coach John Worsfold confirmed the pair had met with the Bombers and visited their Tullamarine training base.

The Lions’ airport proposal has been put on hold while the club explores a new offer from the Brisbane Airport Corporation for a larger piece of land which is further away from the runway and is more suitable for the club’s plans to incorporate an aquatic centre in the precinct.

The $300,000 upgrade to the Gabba, which is expected to serve the club for about three years until the proposed new headquarters is completed, was done at cost by Lions corporate partner Trivision and is expected to be finished in the next three weeks.

Lions chairman Bob Sharpless said although the offer of new land had prolonged the planning for the new base, it was worth the wait. He confirmed the club’s in-principle funding agreements with three partners for the new precinct remained in place.

“We wanted to have an aquatic facility with the project (which) was not seen in the current location as being viable, but this new location has better access and opens up that opportunity again,’’ he said.

“This is more land, with better access that doesn’t have the issues around runway noise the other site would have.

“The deal from the BAC is the same so we see it as a positive.’’

Three years until it is ready. Jesus

Just gets further and further away doesnt it.

 

[SizeMatters]

Well worth the wait.

 

[Simba Moyo]

Sounds pretty exciting, can't wait to finally have a proper facility for the players. Any details on changes at the Gabba?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Obviously the advantages of this new site must be pretty appealing or they would have just continued with the current plan.

We need to get this right.

I know a lot of walls have come down to reduce the dungeon effect, not sure what else has been done.

 

[MacMum]

Would be our luck the whole joint will collapse through lack of walls!



...dear god, bite thy tongue MM!!

Silver lining - if the dungeon collapsed then a) not all the team would be able to have fitted in at the same time so we would not lose the whole lot at once and b) we *might* get a real pp out of it

3 years would be timed well for when we should be competitive again. Hopefully the 3 year estimate is for parts of the facility that won't be used by the lions. An oval and some facilities should start construction in the next 12 months...surely. For something that's meant to be fast tracked, 2019/20 seems way too far away.

But we also have a lot of players that won't be adequately developed in that time.

If that's the case it will have diddly squat to do with facilities.

 

[lions27]

Eagles have one of the worst facilities in the comp and seem to do ok

Looks like the upgrades to the Gabba are including a pool - that'll simplify things!

 

[Skoob]

Wow. A lot of expense for a summer gimmick. Reckon Cricket's paying or the Gabba? No wonder our rent's so high.
