Brighton Homes Arena (Springfield) discussions

[Section 5]

I have not visited the time lapse site for a while
Only major visible change is what i assume to be the score board
I wonder if it is also a game broadcast viewing screen when needed

No turf yet...Would have thought they'd be getting it down by now.

Will be challenging the Great Wall of China soon for worlds longest build.

If only we could have exploited all the slave labour and human suffering that Qin Shi Huang used on the Great Wall!

Would have saved a lot of time and money. Could have filled the stands with an army of Terracotta supporters as well.

We have goal posts, grass can not be too far away >

Grass some grounds have gravel
Was down Casey watching the VFL on weekend. Kick to kick with my son we all noticed the grass on the ground was really good quality.
So yes hope we get good quality grass not Marvel crap.

One step below the gabba grass level wise I think which is logical given

A) we don't need to cater for cricket and the surface requirements they need (different type of grass interwoven

B) the cost to maintain that level or type of grass is insane!

No the longest build is whatever the hell they are building down at Kardinia park. Been ongoing for years and the building site has looked the same for like 18 months.

View from across the street.

3 light towers? Although I can see a possible half a tower behind the trees. I see on the others there's a join? 3/4 way up....could be waiting for the top part.

Have probably answered my own question there

Looking good so far.

theres definitely a 4th there. Its actually back quite a bit from the ground. If you go to Time Lapse Pty Ltd - Brisbane Lions - Springfield Lakes (Tower Crane) its basically just to the left of camera. It was put up about the 10th of march (estimate) and you can see the crane that puts the rest of them up drive just to the edge of screen. and then back a bit later.

Those goal posts need to be higher, because, y'know....

So does anyone know when the staff are moving into the buildings and would it be ready to host AFLW finals there?

I don’t know anything about grass (cue jokes), but if they haven’t laid the turf yet, I can’t imagine the oval being ready this season.

Jake Anson confirmed to me on Twitter this evening that the oval will not be ready at all this season, even if we get to host the grand final. Shame, but it is what it is I suppose.

Fages may have instigated “Operation Queenstown”. Would toughen everyone up for next season.

Why bother with Queenstown when Springfield is already in the perfect condition to kick off the same regime?

Awesome - very nice facilities the club is building. Can't wait to tour the venue and watching games there such as reserves , womens and pre-season

 

[Nathan Barley]

Looks like Kardinia park dimensions

 

[brizrider]

Staff moving in from second week in October I’ve heard

 

[brizrider]

I want to see a footy get kicked into the fan while it’s moving

 

[Section 5]

Looking at today's time lapse images it looks like some final leveling of the soil
So maybe the grass will not be far away
