MCG to host GF through to 2057

[Tigtrain]

Bad move imo. Think with Perth stadium and Sydney Olympic stadium, probably time to mimic NFL, neutralise and rotate (with G). Furthermore, fix the frickin roof @ Etihad with $ - clear circular retractable

Concourse built from Richmond station to the g

Capacity way over 100k

No doubt the MCC will be footing the majority of the bill again. I doubt that will stop people complaining about how many seats they get every year though.

If they are forking out 1 billion bucks that the tax payers aren't they can have a few seats

 

[Astro_]

About time they did something abiut the great southern stand. Well past its use by date

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Unbelievable decision, how can the AFL sign off on this and completely shaft half of the competition? Money can't buy me love eh? Like **** it can't.

If Sydney or Perth build a stadium that can hold more than the MCG they can have a crack at hosting a grand final

The league disagrees with you.

 

[Bestbird]

Wonder if other stadiums could bid for the rights to the preliminary finals.

Not shafting anyone. Government money...other states step up

 

[RedVest4]

Lol.

Just when I think the AFL can’t be more corrupt.

They continue to surprise me each day.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Wow

Amazing... fair whack to other states.

Of course, to get all these upgrades funded they would’ve had to commit for additional years.

Got to fit the membership base in somehow. Expansion the only answer.

 

[Magpie Monopoly]

All I hear is that we have to deal with Interstate flogs complaining about not knowing how to play at the MCG for another 40 years...

AFLW games.

Smart campaigners

That's interesting, fourth tier on the GSS?

I'm not sure how they are doing it. I do know they are knocking down the whole stand.

 

[windyhill]

Classic mcguire, sitting there all smug, pulling his faces with his minions gushing all over him.

AFLW, local community engagement, buying votes for the next election, etc, etc

Funding comes with strings though, will be interesting to see what they are

Unlike your club most non-Victorian clubs don't get to play at the MCG 15 times a year.
