My first preference would be to leave AO and build new roof stadium in west pArklands.
Do you believe if the opposition was elected they could come through with a new stadium?
I don't so guess I'm looking for the band aid solution.
Something needs to change though the lower crowds is because AAMI is a hole.
Can I ask why you think it's a hole??
I'm a true fan but I have a life.
I can't fit a trip to aami in around playing footy, prezzos, 21sts, engagements, weddings, catching up with mates etc
I'd have to catch two buses if I wanted a frothy and fork out top dollar for rank food at aami.
However in city I could catch games on my way to events, go out for dinner, drink and get home easily.
How exciting is it in Melbourne going to pub for a countery & beer then walking through city to grounds.
The whole appeal is the before and after.
Unless i get free tickets I have no motivation to go to aami.
The city stadium would stop the giant rush of everyone leaving at same time as people kick on for dinner etc and lots more ways out of city.
Even catching tram back to bay after a game would be appealing.
West lakes is isolated, too hard to get to and overpriced as in no value for money
