The Stadium!

[Mr Tassie]

If you read my earlier posts, you'll work it out.

I think a lot of anti stadium folk will be surprised we have attracted a good amount of interest because I know many have said we don't have any hope of any investors wanting to come on board. I have had people say to me they'res no hope any investor would come on board because they won't get anything out of it.

The AFL committed $15million

So far.

 

[Mr Tassie]

So far.

Yes they have already made it clear they may consider more.

What are you referring to where the AFL has said its willing to pitch in more money? Can you point us to quotes or a source? I think the $15m is pretty firm

How much more $$$$ than they intended have they sunk into gws and Gold Coast?

Yeah can't say I recall the AFL ever hinting at giving more money. Regardless, they were sure to avoid any contractual obligation, per the Club Funding and Development Agreement:

21.4 Overall funding responsibility
Subject to clause 19.2 (Construction Commitments), and provided that the conditions of all components of the funding commitments referred to in clause 21.2 (Funding commitments) are met, the Tasmanian Government agrees that it is solely responsible for the costs to develop and construct the Stadium, including any costs which exceed the Estimated Stadium Build Cost.

There's a Goods Shed in my town on an old railway line and it was converted into a craft beer Cafe.
I'm fact, the entire strip was turned into modern restaurants and cafes.

Would something like that be a possibility perhaps? Creating a foodie precinct right next to or slightly within the stadium boundaries?

Would be awesome

Thats to keep the teams afloat, nothing to do with the stadiums. The AFL own the club licenses, not the stadiums.
The stadium is for more than just AFL football anyway.
