Imagine if the Scorchers did split their games - wonder if it would impact WACA crowds when everyone waits to go the PS game(s)

I think it is the way the satellite takes the picture. Have a look at the Gabba, it is the same too. Buildings aren't directly above either.
The big BHP and Rio skyscrapers in Perth, you can see one side.
Proabably not much. 2/5 of the ground is taken by WACA members. Then I think Scorcher members would take up most of the rest of the ground. Not many general admission tickets available in the first place.

This isn't to do with the roof being directly above the seats - it's the dimensions of the sails, specifically the 11 and 6 o'clock ones as mentioned in the original post.

Oh shit. That looks amazing.
The big new pub next door, the Camfield, is taking shape as well.

Didn't somebody say previously that won't happen because of the footbridge not being complete or something?
I think that is just for Friday night games for the first half of the season until the bridge is finished because of the large demands of people getting from work to the game. I believe we can still have Sat night or Sunday twilight games but I could be wrong

Because of no footbridge there will need to be more trains to get the spectators to the ground.
Games won’t be possible (not enough trains in Perth) for Friday night because of rush hour coinciding with game time.
Saturday nights should be fine.
It wouldbe nice if a journo asked the AFL about whether Saturday night games could start at 710 perth time..

9pm game into Melbourne? Unlikely! They don't even like doing Friday night games in Perth because they can't start at the same time as any other venue.
but on a Saturday night? second game of a double header? surely
hopefully at the official ribbon-cutting opening, they invite former Premier and former Sports Minister, plus obviously the current Premier and Sports Minister, and no one from the Federal Government. No-one.
In fact, they should erect a sign saying:
Perth Stadium Federal Government contribution = $zero.
SCG Federal Government contribution = $x
Adelaide Oval Federal Government contribution = $x
MCG Federal Government contribution = $x
[insert Qld stadiums] Federal Government contribution = $x

For the record, the MCG has had $0 federal government contribution. State Gov, MCC and the AFL had supplied all monies so far.
yeh? I had assumed that there was some for upgrades. what about ballarat? oh, and kardinia park ?
I guess the point is that they have coughed up $ for everywhere else
