They have to maximise the Cross River Rail

So if you demolish the GABBA and have a 15k Rod Laver style arena (retractable roof) like the Brisbane Entertainment centre there it can be used for NBL, WNBL, Netball, concerts etc and you sell the land left over and the light towers to property developers for some coin and get some $ from the AFL to help with the Vic Park cost

AFL could sell 25% or 50% of their share in Marvel to stump up $500m or so for Vic Park for say a 25% share in the new QLD Stadium

Make the capacity 70k, or at least allow the potential for it to hold 70k, and give the AFL a viable alternative Grand Final host venue in 30 years when the current contract expires.

Think big folks.

A Gabba rebuild to me is replacing the hideous coloured seats.
