Hobart stadium business case

[SBD Gonzalez]

This is insane. I'd heard a lot of misgivings about the choice of site, but a 23,000 seat stadium 170 metres from a symphony concert hall? That takes the cake. Looks like the AFL didn't bother checking in with anyone.

First the RSL come out against it and now the TSO has come out saying it will be a problem for them. This just get's more interesting all the time and I think this is definitely going to put the Mac Point 2 back on the table.

Sadly it wouldn't surprise me at all if the stadium fell over considering this is Tasmania where major projects rarely get up. This state is full of anti groups and the opposition to the stadium is huge from what I can see.

So you've found a new home for your stadium doomsayer spiel Mr. Tassie?
Interesting.

1. They don't know if there will be any impact at all.
2. If it does have an impact, Hobart stadium won't be used that often and only for a few hours when it is.
3. If its still that big of an issue, They can sell and move into better facilities. They're in a good spot thats going to get a huge upgrade to PT and facilities in general so the land value would be huge.

Having spent quite some years in event management and production I can tell you there will be an impact.

I’m sure the rich and powerful that patronise classical concerts will happily see themselves be forced to find an alternative to their purpose-built venue which was only commissioned in 1998.

I can see this tangled up in the courts for years.

I keep hearing "bands won't go to Tassie".

Because it's true. Coldplay, Kylie Minogue, Pearl Jam, Laneway festival, Billie Eilish, Iron Maiden, Taylor Swift, all recent tours that skipped Tassie.

The reality is this is Tasmania which is a place where major projects rarely happen due to all the anti groups. If the stadium doesn't get up then I wouldn't be surprised at all, but hopefully a renegotiation of the deal would still be considered by the afl.I struggle to see us losing the team now because the High Performance centre will already be under construction before the stadium decision is made and a huge amount of work has already gone in to building the team.

The clubs didn't want a Tasmanian team to begin with, which is why they forced a dream that no sane person could possibly agree to.

Gil got to make his "offer", the clubs fully expected rejection.
But its such a bad deal for the state that of course both major political parties both eventually got behind it. No team is better than a team under such extortionate circumstances, but its footy so politically its a short term winner.

There is pretty much zero chance the AFL would renegotiate after the government has already committed the state to it.

Glad I'm not a Tasmanian taxpayer.

I'm just as much a supporter as yourself, but just trying to see people's opinions on it.

And yet the Killers are playing a one off concert in Townsville at their new stadium in a town that is slightly smaller than Hobart.

Foo Fighters played a one off at GMHBA recently.

Those tours might have skipped Tassie because they don't currently have a 23,000 roofed stadium that would be perfect to play at?
