News Gabba Upgrade & Olympics News

[M Malice]

I have always wanted a new Gabba.
But really dont like the idea of the Lions being without a home.

I agree which is why I eventually changed to wanting the Victoria Park option.

As a selfish southsider, the prospect of getting home from Vic Park (and getting there after a 6:30pm work shift) doesn’t appeal to me.

Youd think that when the added cost of temporary homes for cricket and footy is added to the demolition costs, gabba will end up being same cost as Victoria Park.
So youd think you choose greenfields site, easier to build and it guarantees some land for housing once Gabba torn down whereas rebuilding gabba they wont bulld houses on the Victoria Park footprint that would have had stadium.

You will never make it as a politician with reasonable thoughts like that.

Might work, I guess. Half the cost of that stadium was just in site remediation anyway.

Brighton Homes Arena already needs an upgrade. Gives us a grandstand and some bloody shade FFS. This is QLD not miserable Melbourne with constant cloud cover.

It is a hellhole on a hot, sunny day. Dangerously so on that exposed outer side.
