Richmond Tigers propose 40,000 seat Punt Road Oval redevelopment as Melbourne's third AFL stadium - Australasian Leisure Management

Given the state of covid and moving forward in 2022 do you reckon this is still a possibility ?

More jobs is a bonus for melbounre and it introduces a state of the art stadium for AFLW potentially a GF location and the tigers playing interstate teams at punt road.

I have always thought/hoped something like this would happen. I think it makes sense for the AFL to develop as of location, you can see virtual double headers with say Richmond v Adelaide there then Melbourne v Bulldogs at G, use your idea also for it to be ALFW main venue, its all positive and obviously good for us financially, as long as it always remains our club venue and training facility I think it would be great.

All I ask is for us to play Geelol there while they still play us at the MCG for their home games

I'd love it, especially if it had the same dimensions as the MCG and we could pack it out for interstate games.

Because of COVID, no chance in the next 20 years imo.

Complete waste of money for the biggest club in the league that averages 61k per Home game pre pandemic , mcg is our home , Punt rd for gf training runs , vfl and aflw with 5-8k capacity

Exactly

I can’t see the Jack Dyer stand in that picture

40,000 seat stadium would make so much sense at Punt Rd being the same dimensions as the MCG

Games against interstate teams and minnow teams like Norf, Dee's & Aints

With Richmond making all the cash

Wrong

Naming rights to stands and advertisements deals would be way better than 61k tickets at the MCG. Percentage of food and Alcohol sold as well

Hosting the AFLW grandfinal and potential concerts

It would be a done deal if the AFL allows it

I think the opposite

Vic/ Banks would be handing out loans left right and center to boost jobs and the economy

Yeh but clubs and the AFL have taken a big hit that will set back growth and a safer defensive strategy is likely the one they employ rather than build a stadium 300m from another one

They all should be interstate teams!

We'd win 10 flags in a row if that happens

Home games vs Geelong - Punt Road Stadium.
Away gamed vs Geelong - MCG

so you think it would be in our interests to build a stadium that houses less of our 100,000 members than more , makes sense

We get 85k to ANZAC eve.... interstate teams and Norf makes sense, Saints when they are crap, even Dogs and Cats.

yes, if we play interstae teams and others like north or bottom 4 sides that cant draw a crowed. Have two memberships one that is that standard membership and a premium one that includes Punt Road games and only limit it to 37k memberships 3k aside for away fans
