My opinion as a traditionalist is that many of the worlds GREAT events are such because of the traditions of those events :
Wimbledon
St Andrews
Augusta National
The Adelaide Oval has a long tradition as a unique ground .....in fact when the renovations were complete for the new Adelaide Oval, it was the tradition that was admired .....its uniqueness retained
The scoreboard, trees and cathedral are central to that uniqueness
But modernism requires that all stadia look the same .....cram as many people for commercial benefit ....and this debate has poked its head up ONLY because Perth got the Grand Final .....no other reason
So do you want to be like every other stadium .....or do you want to retain so historical traditions & be sat alongside the other great traditional showpieces
