Punt rd development

[tigerdan]

JD stand clearly has to go.
I dont mind.
They can still honour him some other way which im sure they will

I'd rather they put the new building behind the goals at the northern end.

looks like zero undercover seating has been incorporated into those buildings facing the oval. that’s going to be pleasant

a triangle replacing our beloved jack dyer stand ?


at least let it be a giant yellow and black penis pointing towards the royal

rather it pointed towards collingwood hq

“get the protractor out and charge them a mint for a disfunctional shed”

that’s what happened last time

Maybe there's a stand on the opposite wing?

Over Punt Road?

 

[biaseddustyfan]

better solution would be demolish punt rd end of the MCG and build our facilites in there and leave the vfl/awfl at punt rd and don't change punt rd

 

[Roksman]

Over Punt Road?

Admittedly I've never gone to the hill on that end where people usually stand / sit. Thought there may be room for some seating, nothing huge.

looks like someone vomited, ffs we need sears and undercover and facilities......

WTF can't we find one suit wearing architect that knows how to design a decent footy stadium?

For a 100 seat stand? It just doesnt have the room mate.

we love eye sores

just turn the entire stretch of punt rd into a tunnel with the stand on top, easy peasy

Agreed. Make a stadium 45K Capacity and only play lulnorf there

 

[Roksman]

We won't have a boutique stadium, that ship has sailed.

I daresay our community centric design is what gets us the government funding - don't think we would've got that if it was just for our stadia.

top pic has jack dyer stand knocked down and replaced with a triangle

Please. It's not just a triangle but a scalene triangle. Bit of respect for the man bag wearing, bearded hipster, BMW driving architects here, please.

8,000 seat capacity? then follows up by stating 5,000 seat? not sure if that means 13k all up?

No pictures / plans released yet?

Caro said a few months ago that it would be a total capacity of 8,000 with 5,000 seats and 3,000 standing room.

From Article
The redevelopment would see:

• The 104-year-old Jack Dyer Stand removed to make way for new seating, change rooms, community and elite training facilities.
• Expanded sporting amenities to house Richmond’s AFL, VFL, AFLW, VFLW and recently introduced team in the Victorian Wheelchair Football League.
• Spectator capacity lifted from 5000 to 8000 with new terracing around Punt Road’s outer wing, under the scoreboard and the north end goals.
• New lighting to allow for regular VFL and AFLW night fixtures.
• The expansion of the current training facility, which would also make room for Richmond’s expanding Korin Gamadji Institute and elite athlete and sport science educational partnership with Swinburne.
• Accommodation for students attending the Melbourne Indigenous Transition School.
• A facelift for the Swinburne Centre, which would see the unsightly and impractical small windows significantly enlarged.

I think there's room for more than 100 seats.

Relocate the Jack Dyer stand to Fed Square, glass it in and it can be our new super store.
