If it were a condition of getting an AFL team, the capacity of Bellrieve and Aurora would be increased by the State govt. irrespective of cost.
A Tassie team would split their games between Hobart and Launie, and membership would comprise of:
Full ticketed members (access to all games in Hobart and Launceston)
Hobart member (access to all 6/7 hobart home games)
Launceston member (access to all 6/7 launie home games)
Every home game would be packed imo. A Tassie team would also have a lot of away support when they travel; lots of ex pat Taswegians living in Vic especially.
Won't happen now for at least a decade unfortunataley. Only way it would happen sooner would be a merger, and that seems unlikely.
2025: Tasmania
2026: North Qld
