Particularly when the roof rules out international cricket being played there.

A nice stadium, completely surrounded by grandstands keeps the bulk of the weather out… particularly with the roof over hangs these days.

They have bloody open air stadiums in Europe and North America playing in the snow.

Dumb ultimatum to have the roof.


Hobart gets pretty much the same rainfall as Adelaide, sure its a bit colder down there but not sure a roof is going to help that anyway

Correct, the mountain blocks a lot of the rain fall from hitting the Hobart CBD and it’s actually quite a dry city.

Will be colder in Canberra on Sat night

No confidence motion currently being debated in TAS Parliament. Greens are sinking the boots in, the proposed stadium is front and centre, proposing to include an amendment to include not building the stadium as part of the motion.

How big a stadium are they proposing?
Surely crowds won’t be over 20,000 anyway

Adelaide Oval was $535m then $555m ended up around $610m.

We would spend twice that knowing what it has done for the city and the state.

Build it and they will come.

Serious question are you including the original western stand upgrade (2009-10) in that figure, Boon, or just the Southern and Eastern redevelopment (2012-13)?
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Didn't they start early on the second portion, as there was a rumour the development was going to be put on hold?

It made sense for Adelaide Oval but for very different reasons than Hobart, you can’t really compare the 2 situations.

Difference is $1.3 Billion for 26,000 people and no cricket.

Other than 11 home games what else would they fill it will. International artists are not going there, might jag a soccer international but nothing else.

AO has two tenants, gets used every week of the home & away season, plus you've got the hotel there now too
