For the least disruption Lions and cricket need a new stadium. Will that happen. Unlikely at present but we can hope.
On the assumption that no new stadium will be built at VP, Albion, Hamilton.
In my opinion the best thing (other than a new stadium) for fans, players and the club over the next 8 years.
Lions just stay at The Gabba, and the Government keep maintenance up to keep the stadium safe.
Sellouts become normal as long as we keep making the 8.
Club see big increases of season memberships and seat prices rise yearly.
Sponsors/Corporates get better value when club is successful and great attendances
Not a terrible scenario.
Athletics goes to Carrara with the stadium fully completed with a proper grandstand and roof finished.
Some disruption to the Suns but they gain a fully completed stadium for their future.
The Gabba host Olympic T20 cricket with games sold out months before the games start.
India and Pakistan supporters alone will make sure that happens.
Yes, it is kicking the can down the road and when someone wakes up, we eventually get a new stadium somewhere close to the CBD
