Exasperatingly the Eagles and Dockers were lobbying for a 50k stadium but Colin said there's no way we are building a whole new stadium to fit only 7000 more inIt would be silly to have 80000 seats now the cost of supplying game day staff for all that extra area that is not needed will push up ticket prices and reduce club profits .
Then you have the cost of cleaning and maintenance of that extra unnessessary seating .
By the time we need the extra 20000 seats the seats we have now will have to be replaced .
As long as the inferstructure of the other 20000 seats is in then we should be happy .
Pretty sure WCE and freo only wanted 60000 seats so they can maximise game day profits .
