News Simonds Stadium Stage 4 Redevelopment

[cats2rise]

If we want to be pedantic, play 'spot the difference.'

Selwood has a bandage on his arm in one photo, but not in the other.

My investigation skills have proven they are different games.

That's not the photo.

I'm confused now. I thought you were talking about the photo in the link you posted.

 

[Tony Barber]

Ok, another 5 minutes wasted. Selwood has tape in the Adelaide and it looks higher. More like that original pic. And the original pic shows up when you google the Adelaide game.

 

[catempire]

But at the end of the day, what really is a "photo"? Aren't we all but photos in this rich tapestry we call life? Hmm?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

That's deep.

And one of the guys in the background was suppose to be driving a truck in Queensland and got caught at Simonds Stadium

The fence is so high that there is room for digital signage on the top and regular signs below. Pretty sure that's how it worked last season and the set up I saw last week seemed the same.

Last year the electric signage spanned the eastern wing from northern point post to the start of the players stand, with the second tier of the hickey and players stands also having electric signage. In front of the players stand was full height, static advertising. I could be wrong, but I suspect they are simply replacing last year's advertising after the summer of other sports using the stadium.

Yes they are but it was taken from the final.

Where is the evidence of that?

I just wasted 5 minutes of my life.
Not sure if it's coincidence but at the start of the QF Selwood had no tape on his left bicep and at the end he did.

Yeah and if you click on that photo is says Geelong v Adelaide...

Not from my end.

That's not the photo.

Well spotted. I was behind the goals last year and wasn't sure how it looked. Probably the same as this for this year.
Is there an AFL rule about video screens directly behind the goals? They could be very distracting when players are lining up for a set shot, I'd imagine.

The MCG and etihad have them all the way around the ground, and i'm sure there are others. I agree though, it could be quite distracting, especially with all of the animated/moving advertising they have now.

 

[Tyzza_07_09_11]

Just saw some footage of the ground on 360, and they have got led signage all the way around (not sure about the players stand, but definitely the premiership and brownlow stands)

 

[newcs]

Away shorts? Couldn't they find a picture that was from KP?

Was it shown right at the end? I don't want to sit through the whole show, but if its in the last 5 minutes, Ill set a reminder to watch the last 5 minutes on the 11.30pm replay and try to get some screenshots.

You haven't watched many games at KP in recent years ay.

 

[Thunder Road]

From the KP Twitter feed.
Looking more like 360º LED signs. A close look seems to show them being installed at the southern goal and in front of the Premiership Stand after all...we'll see in 3 more days!

The club is anticipating a crowd of between 31-33,000, factoring in the no-show factor at the 36,500 capacity venue.

The biggest home-and-away crowd in the venue’s history is 49,107 in 1952 in the days of packed terraces.

It shapes as the biggest crowd at the ground since 1988 when 35,322 squeezed in for a Geelong-Collingwood clash.

A crowd of 32,808 saw the Cats beat the Bombers in 1993 and, more recently, 32,458 attended the 2013 qualifying final against Fremantle.

It's funny that it was the 1988 match that has the bigger crowd. The last round of 1991 felt a LOT more crowded being at the game, but the attendance is listed as just over 28,000. The only game I can remember at Geelong where I literally could not move.
