[manang magoos]

Reckon I'd trust 30yo materials & workmanship over the 'slap-together cheapest possible building materials & labour' these days

Put em together forget er

Great, that monogram looks much more powerful that the one we had up there for years.

Such a beautiful day, I thought I would take a few more. Doubling up a little...

For reference, the light tower in most of the shots is the same one.

Had to work late tonight. This photo doesn't do the emblems justice, and I am too tired to work out how to do exposure on my phone but you'll have to trust me when I say it looks sensational.

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

sosos Mate, as much as I hate the Pratt Stand going, after seeing your photo I had to go round for a look. It looks sensational from the outside. Unmistakenably Carlton. Proud, brash, bold. Going to be wonderful standing out the front of that monogram pissed as a newt singing Stand By Your Man after flag number #17

Can say the same for our team...

 

[athensblue]

Looks amazing
One thing I miss about Melb
Would be great to play a game like this weekend again there one day
Here's hoping

 

[Jatz]

Bloody hell, that looks incredible.

I'm out of the loop entirely, what are we upgrading?

Ikon Park upgrade underway as AFLW season prepares to kick-off

Construction work on the Ikon Park redevelopment, including new elite women’s facilities, has commenced ahead of the 2021 AFLW season-start on Thursday night at the venue.

www.austadiums.com

The $42 million project will see the Pratt Stand demolished and replaced by a new match-day pavilion containing AFLW changerooms, an indoor training facility and new floodlights to allow for night games, removing the need for temporary lighting which has been used for previous games.

The existing training and administration building will also be refurbished and upgraded to provide AFLW and AFL players and staff access to the same facilities and resources, reinforcing a culture of gender equality throughout the club.

Not sure I want them to, but I'm guessing AFLW will put some moniker up as well. I found this image on their website. All I can say is "ick"

Why would the AFLW brand go up in the building?

On the outside. It's just my assumption, because a lot of the money came from funding for the "home of AFLW".

I find it hilarious that the community has allowed us to install lights. Just an amazing turn around.

Im not sure they were even consulted. This might have been approved by the state/local gov without it being required.

6. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

The Minister for Planning has referred the application to the City of Melbourne and City of Yarra in accordance with the provisions of Section 20(5) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. The applicant also invited surrounding property owners/occupiers to public briefing sessions intended for March and April 2020. These were subsequently cancelled due to the current public health crisis and the Victorian Government’s later declaration of a state of emergency. No further public notice of the proposed amendment was carried out by the applicant or required by DELWP

cause it's considered the home of aflw..............that's all............

Thankfully the only branding will be Carlton branding. Outside of other teams using the rooms on matchday, it's all exclusive for Carlton use.

 

[The Blueseum]

Was very lucky to get a look at the new facilities this morning and wow, it is amazing. They are basically putting the finishing touches on everything in the main museum/cafe area. The large training area is getting very close as well, looks like the floor is mostly installed, huge space.

Great variety of memorabilia on display and a mixture of analogue and digital interactive items.

Going to be a great place to visit for Carlton supporters of all ages.

So excited to see it when it opens and how everyone interacts with it all.

Is there an AFL logo on the MCG? (genuine question).

 

[thylacine60]

Go find out (genuine advice).

Absolutely nothing disingenuous about it. I have never seen the AFL logo on a stadium so I wasn't sure why Princes Park would be any different with AFLW.

I'm wondering why you would assume there is some other motivation behind the question? Perhaps you're lumping me in with the poster I was quoting who didn't even know what the AFLW logo looked like? If you're assuming I'm not supportive of the AFLW or women playing footy, you couldn't be further from the truth. I was there for the lockout competition opener against the Pies and have hardly missed a Blues game in Melbourne since the competition started.

edit: forgot to mention that none of the renders had an AFLW logo on them.
