Perth Stadium (Optus Stadium)

[RedV3x]

Then why is everybody acting like it's the biggest travesty in the history of travesties?

You only have to look around BF to see everything is a tissing contest.
The stadium is going to be christened by a rock person. What an anti-climax.
Then it's just another day at the office.

Doesn't bother me. Just start using it and get that money coming in.

Social media comments were in melt down. I espically liked the ones about how dare the NRL come back to WA after the way they treated the Western Force.

Photo dump time...

Did a photo walk around the stadium on Sunday.
It was cloudy, so not as nice as pics when it is sunny - but people might be interested anyway.

Starting south of the stadium and walking clockwise.

Why would you pay $1 million when it's projected to optimistically bring only $2.2 to the state.
That only brings $80,000 GST to W.A. which doesn't cover the running cost for one game let alone two games.
They are predicting only 3,000 Sydney-siders making the trip.
There's only deficit in your suggestion.

Yes, I know.

Why do pictures 4, 5 and 6 have a big poo in them?

Loose definition of "rock"

A tribute to Mr Hanky, the Xmas Poo.
Just needs an oversized red Xmas hat on it - I would love to see someone do it.
(the hat - not a Xmas poo)

Absolutely. I would've liked a real rock concert.
Imagine pink Floyd using all those stadium lights.

Without googling, who can remember which teams/event opened the redeveloped Adelaide Oval, or Etihad?

It really doesnt matter who opens it, if its ready to use then start accepting bookings, every week it sits idle it's losing money.

For Adelaide Oval, define 'open'.

In terms of the full redevelopment, it was the Port v Crows game in round 2 2014 (after a Rolling Stones concert was postponed). However, the Strikers BBL03 season had the Riverbank Stand open, and the 2013/14 Ashes Series had parts of level 1 of the Eastern stands opened.

Etihad or Colonial stadium as it was called then, was Essendon vs Port

TV audience may have something to do with it.

I really love that "cladding" look on the outside.

Should have them in rings all the way round and make it look like a UFO

I'm almost certain there was a late season shield fixture played there as a dress rehearsal / chance for fans to come in and check it out.

The whole stadium wasn't fully completed till early March or so, a very tight turnaround from handover until the cancelled concert. There was a shield game where SACA Members could go up onto Riverbank Level 3 for a look but nothing for people to go over to the Eastern Stands or Riverbank 5.

$20 for a ticket and still a "nah".

Won't it Ben two games for the price of one for $20! Lol

Some one in the public office likes their bumsniffing!

Isn't that Union? League is finger-dipping and ground-humping.

There was a Channel 7 thing this morning showing the halo lighting testing from the inside.

Loved those ones. Dont mind having NRL there before

Wasnt the SA vs England game was it? That might have been the opening the new members stand actually.

Not sure on the union, but the governments state and federal have been finding the nrl home club grounds for decades
