Perth Stadium

No light towers?

Nah, we are just having daylight savings year-round @ GMT +12

I don't mind the stadium itself, its just its location will force public transport and the only bars or food anywhere close is all at Crown Casino

 

[Spoon_Man]

The glass surrounding the stadium is a bold strategy...

 

[calaisking]

Can't wait to get amongst this

Under the Dome, I like it.

Is Lyon Big Jim?

Apparently the stadium itself will have 70+ food and drink outlets and Subiaco Oval pretty much forced public transport too.

I'm ambivalent about the site but it's using up land that is pretty much vacant anyway.

There a 60,000 seats but do we know how much standing room there is?

 

[DV2000]

50,000?

nah, looking at 80,000

 

[clogged]

Looks really ugly from the outside. Those wooden looking panels all around, wtf are they thinking?

It's COR-TEN

Check out some Richard Serra sculptures

Perth's getting some culture.

$821 million!

That's just silly.

Gold Coast stadium was torn down and put back up for $144 million.

REALLY?!?!? Well then...that is silly

The theatre-goers that push the crowds up to capacity want to :

- 1. Finish work at 5:00pm on a Friday
- 2. Go to the nearest bar with a group of mates
- 3. Down a quick 4-5 pints and chat up some skirt
- 4. Stroll down to the ground
- 5. Watch game

When game finishes - repeat steps 2 and 3 above.

Not really doable in Perth when the AFL insists on starting games at 5.40.

Th last upgrade at the MCG in 2006 was over $500 million for less than half the stadium so $821 is not bad

Friday games start at 6:40pm...

Etihad dosent have any light towers and its not much small than this stadium

It is now, but there was a golf course there...

I hope it has viable pre/post game bar options. No one is going to stick around for $10 mid strength in plastic cups.

Giants playing an away game at the new Perth Stadium.

So what happens to Subi?

 

[Marlin01]

Are those images what the stadium will look like at the initial 60,000 seat capacity or once it has been extended to 80,000 at some point in the future?

 

[Scotland]

Friday games start at 6:40pm...

Not in March/April.

Anyway even starting at 6.40 'night' game experiences are different in WA.

 

[Scotland]

So what happens to Subi?

Apparently it will be retained in a reduced capacity.

Complete waste of time, should be knocked down and developed into residential and commercial. Prime real estate that outside the two AFL teams WA doesn't really need for footy.

 

[Belnakor]

The only recent big infrastructure project in Perth that has been on time and not over budget is the Mandurah train line. Expect this one to be a couple of years behind schedule and $100 million over budget.

easy to be on budget when you change the budget half way through the project..

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Fantastic, should be built by the year 2030 the way WA operates

it will be knocked down they just don't want to say it right away.

maybe those fools in subiaco who had a whinge about the previous developments will realize their entertainment distinct will probably die.
