TBH it doesn’t really bother me that much. We play plenty of games at the G.
The future does interest me. I was reading this year that the stadium has hit the midpoint of its life - most agree they generally are in use for 50 years and we have hit the 25 year mark. Hence the major upgrades. But the AFL will have to start considerations at some point over the next decade about what they are going to do strategically. Will they look to level it and rebuild, or sell the property and relocate their second stadium.
The reality is the stadium remains fairly unloved - it has a lot of problems of its own and relating to its surrounds. I wouldn’t discount the chances of the AFL looking to up and move.
This will be a lot about us because we remain the anchor tenant. Do we parlay that into some sort of good deal at a new stadium? Or use it as a bargaining chip to move back to the G?
