Corporations put alot of money into the league. They should be recognized.

So you think people should use the corporation name when talking to their friends?
It's a complete shithole, made all the worse by its surrounds (which are ironically Geelong's "best" suburbs).

Minus six or seven can sting a bit, but they do often turn into perfectly fine days.
Minus three is fine, and often become warmer winter days. When it starts minutes five, clouds over in the morning and the wind picks up (which never happened when I was living in Woden, I spent years thinking Canberra was mostly wind-free), those are the bad ones.
Those and the 20+ overnight, 38+ all day, ovens. They're by far the worst, but at least they aren't humid or quite as hot as Adelaide and Western Sydney get.

Geelong's Stadium has a very low feng Shai quotient on TV.
Being there is not too shabby.
Vic Park and Princes Park were the reverse.
Shabby being there but had a great vibe on the TV.

While it was started by a Richmond person who has a well-known dislike for the Cats the premise of the question is fine, and responding is open to everyone. I think the voting shows this as well, with supporters of all clubs nominating KP. I will say I think most voting would be based on the shape of the playing surface and no doubt influenced by Geelong's record there over the past 20 years. Given the public areas are basically brand new I'm not sure how anyone could vote for the stadium and facilities itself. Admittedly I have not attended (yet), but given modern stadium design I don't see how it could be aorse than some of the stadiums in the poll.
Each to their own, but how Marvel Stadium has avoided the hate posts is the true marvel in this thread.
Probably the G when all your bandwagonners drop off for the next decade.

Aww you love us that much?
I loved your three decades of obscurity, looking forward to the next three.

The park is surrounded by South Geelong and Chilwell, neither of which are the "best" suburbs in Geelong. Eastern Beach and Newtown are the best suburbs in Geelong.

Any answer that isn't GMHBA proves you don't know football
I've lived there for 20 years and been to the bean shaped ground numerous times. So I can comment.
The whole place is a shithole!

Fine, I know you've posted the same thing previously. To be fair, if my team hadn't won a game at a certain ground in a generation I'd have the same view as you.
At least we have our own ground and nobody can take it away from us. They've tried but failed.
I'll concede one thing. A ground like GMHBA might be a shit hole for teams that play indirect, boundary football like the Saints. But for teams that play corridor football it is perfect.
