I'm not a brilliant logistics planner, but Griffin Park is a 3 minute shuttle ride away.

The plan was to use Raymond public park, three blocks away

I was respoinding to full size being a requirement, but obviously it isn't. So there are several options

Even with that small space they are gonna have to spend a lot of money building change-rooms. showers. facilities (inc media). security, transport areas - as well as a track they will likely rip up a few months later.

The current alternative is to spend over 2 billion on a temporary stadium, to put what you are saying into perspective.

The current alternative

The current alternative is to do some renovations to QSAC which is already a permanent athletics stadium and already has a full-size warm-up track right next door.

That won't cost $2billion though some Brisbanites might boo-hoo cos they have to travel via public transport for 30 minutes or so and it doesn't result in a free brand-new stadium for their footy or cricket team.

So you’re against the option that actually has some long term benefits to more people beyond the games

Imagine if Melbourne renovated Olympic Park instead of the MCG in 2006

Olympic Park was built in the 50s as a warm-up track for the MCG. And was the warm-up track for the 2006 Commonwealth Games too.

Then Eddie McGuire got himself a seat or two on the Athletics Australia board 15 or so years back and stole it for Collingwood...

Ah, I see now. I was wondering why you seemed to be struggling with weak arguments, invented issues, and denying projected costings, but I thought there must be something substantial behind your position. But you're just goalseeking an outcome.

Thanks for letting me know tho, and saving some time.

probably the worst take ive ever read, QSAC would cost 1.5bill at least to do, the entire venue basically has to be done and the arrangement is to then remove most of it after

Additionally I went to the olympics in Paris, the athletics has 2 sessions how on earth are you going to transport everyone to and from qsac and where does that money come from, further to that brisbane needs a shiny "free brand new stadium"

Alas the election is being held neither party has made a commitment.
Terribly disappointing having the Olympic Stadium at the old stadium Commonwealth Games site will be a logistical nightmare not to mention an embarrassment.

It’s election suicide if you even remotely comment on this will be done after the election

If the lnp get up (which will probably happen) qsac won’t go ahead
