The Stadium!

[Mr Tassie]

The Cost Benefit analysis shows the stadium has a BCR rating of .69 which is still better than what Townsville stadium and Allianz stadium had and they are both successful stadium's.

I reckon it will end up one of the best venues for atmosphere to watch. Closer to the action the better.

Easily best home ground atmosphere imo.

Much like Geelong. That’s the advantage they will have unlike most victorian clubs. Ticket sales will interesting and hard to get what ya think Mr Tassie

The membership is the thing that interests me. I can’t see how they can sell a traditional 11 game home membership. Would lock out too many and cap our membership numbers too much due to the lack of seats.

They could limit the reserved seats membership, make most of them walk up? Then have to have X amount for the away team. Brendan Gale will do it successfully.

I think it's great

 

[Mr Tassie]

Interesting to see the government has hired an assessment panal to assess Mac point 2.0 . I think this could still be in the mix, so could they're yet be a twist in the stadium deal?

Nah.

I believe government is obligated to assess unsolicited proposals of this nature, rightly or wrongly.

What advantages or benefits would 2.0 have that 1.0 doesn’t? I can’t see any. In fact, I think 2.0 has far more challenges and obstacles.

If 1.0 doesn’t pass, then 2.0 is no chance

Ok thankyou for your opinion.

Oh dear

 

[Mr Tassie]

Oh dear

How could they of not included the car park in the cost estimate is what I would like to know.

Both Hawthorn and North are looking at playing their home games v Tassie, in Tassie.

Both clubs will instantly regret this once the first ball is bounced and they realise that they have given up valuable home ground advantage with the vast majority of the crowd against them.

Actually, unless the AFL dumps Gather Round, there are likely to be 12 home games for Tasmania (you can’t have a 23 games season with an odd number of teams).

Sorting out the memberships between North and South will be key to having 50k members. You don’t want the same 22k buying reserved seats to both venues. It will r3euce total membership numbers, and will result in empty seats for some games.

My understanding of this is that the car park is only partly for stadium use, but mostly for broader precinct use including prospective hotel and antarctic precinct.

It was included in the PoSS submission so they could get planning approval for it to be built.

I believe the carpark wont be included in the stadium construction breif. Itll be done seperately, and be done with private money, which is why it hasnt been included in the cost.

Its a 530 space car park with only about 70 spaces for the stadium, and will be for public use on non-event days (of which there will be about 300) so will be very attractive to a car park developer

Thankyou kindly for that. With the government only contributing $375 million, do you still think the stadium will attract private investment (excluding the car park) considering the stadium is expected to run at a loss?....
